The process of Zini Pusha (紫泥铺砂) begins with selecting high-quality purple clay, which is then finely ground into powder. This powder is mixed with water to create a paste that is carefully applied to the surface of the teapot. Pusha refers to the sand-splashed glaze technique used to decorate the teapot. This technique involves sprinkling sand onto the clay before applying a layer of glaze. The sand particles create a textured, grainy effect on the surface of the teapot.
