What kind of pot is a commodity pot?

We often talk about the word commodity pot, but many friends may not know which pots commodity pot refers to. In fact, most of the pots we are using belong to commodity pots. Today, let's talk about the definition of commodity pot.

If the teapot is divided by quality, it can be roughly divided into two categories: art collection teapot, then the rest can be called commodity teapot. First of all, we should treat the word commodity pot correctly. There are also differences in the quality of commercial pots. Batch-produced grouting pots can be called commercial pots as cheap as ten or twenty dollars, and most semi-manual pots and most full-manual pots can be called commercial pots. First of all, the output of commodity pots is much higher than that of art teapots, which makes commodity pots circulate in the market, while art teapots cannot circulate in large quantities in the market. In addition, there is no small difference in quality between the two. Usually, the commodity pot wins by quantity. The artistic teapot wins by quality, which is doomed to have little output. We can sum up the general characteristics of commercial pots: easy to make and shape, relatively low quality, relatively high output and relatively cheap price, which makes a large number of commercial pots appear in the market and can meet the daily needs of most consumers.

Judging whether a pot is a commodity pot is not necessarily related to the following factors. I hope everyone understands that you should never treat a commodity as a work of art, or you will have to pay a high tuition fee.

1, irrelevant to the topic.

You may be confused. It stands to reason that the higher the professional title, the better the pot made by the artist, and the works are closer to the works of art. Why has it nothing to do with the professional title? This is because there is a phenomenon of "OEM" that everyone often hears about. Many pots used by artists with professional titles to run away can only be classified as commodity pots because of their large output and relatively low quality. Similarly, it took some folk artists a long time to complete a pot of really high quality, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a work of art.

2, has nothing to do with the molding process

Many pot friends may think that as long as all pots are hand-made, they must be good pots of high quality, which is better than semi-hand-made. This is a big misunderstanding. I have emphasized many times before that the quality of teapot has nothing to do with the molding process, and all handmade pots are not necessarily good. Many ordinary handmade pots can only be divided into commercial pots. There is also an elaborate semi-handmade pot, as long as the quality is high. It can also be a work of art.

3, has nothing to do with the price

Generally speaking, the higher the price, the higher the quality of the pot, but there is a premise that you need to really understand the pot and not be fooled by the merchants. Because many commodity pots on the market are transformed into "art collections" through various packaging, the price is naturally expensive, but the price is seriously inconsistent with the quality.

At present, the biggest demand in the market is the commodity pot, so how can consumers choose a commodity pot they like? I think we can choose from mud, workmanship, overall shape and price. First of all, taking clay as an example, it is almost impossible to have peerless clay in the category of commodity pots. If you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on a pot of tea, you still expect to buy precious mud such as bottom trough, azure mud, Benshan green mud and Dahongpao. I can only say that this is an idiotic dream. Even if you can buy it, it's a lie. It's not negotiable. As for work, this is also a division of labor. Similarly, it is impossible to expect the workmanship of a pot bought by 500 yuan to reach 5,000. As for the overall shape of the pot, it depends on the author's personal aesthetics and understanding of the pot shape. Then see if it is in line with your personal aesthetics. Don't look at the commodity pot with the eyes and requirements of looking at art. After all, there is a big gap between the two in quality and price, which is exactly what the sentence says: "You get what you pay for". If the price of a commodity pot is reasonable and can basically meet all your requirements, you can consider buying it.
