Unglazed. Perfectly round yet made without a potters wheel. Fired to the edge of warping and blistering. Smooth yet not smooth. The texture is not grog or sand particles, but larger particles of the clay itself. A triumph of technique and adaptation to the material. Yixing clay does not even slake, it has to be aged and pulverized. It is not plastic. Pieces are just joined with slip. But it is not magic, my understanding its physics we you make a facsimilie using materials locally available.
