Yixing
Yixing clay is made in a region near the Chinese city of Yixing in the Jiangsu province and it is typically used to make unglazed tea utensils and other small handicraft items. The clay normally displays a reddish-brown coloration, but color and texture can be modified through the addition of various metal oxides and by regulating the atmosphere in the kiln. Clay with a slight purple tinge is called Yixing Zisha.
Condition: The seal is in good condition with only slight signs of age and wear such as small chips at the lower edge. The total height measures 10 cm.
