Since the 16th century, clayware from the city of Yixing in
Jiangsu Province, China has been in great demand. Because of
the depth of color of the clay, and the clay's maeliability, it was
especially suited for teapots. By the 16th c., tea leaves and
anything having to do with the serving of tea had become a
national, cultural obsession . Throughout the centuries, the
potters must be selected as worthy of the honor of membership.
They work as apprentices, learning the skills from a Yixing
master.
