How to identify a purple clay cup?

First look at the color of the purple clay cup.

The more beautiful the color of a purple clay cup is, the better it is. The color of this purple clay cup is not very bright. It is real only if its color is dull and has a sandy feel. However, if the color of the purple clay cup is too bright or bright red, it is most likely fake.

The second is to test the special properties of the purple clay cup.

Because the purple clay cup is made of purple clay, and purple clay has a special feature, that is, it is a little water-absorbent, so you can drop a few drops of water on the back of the purple clay cup. If the water rolls down, it is fake. But if the water is slowly and evenly absorbed, then it is very likely to be real.

Third, smell the scent of the purple clay cup.

Generally speaking, a purple clay cup is made of purple clay and usually has an earthy smell. But if it has other smells or strange odors, then the purple clay cup is fake. So it is recommended that you smell the purple clay cup when buying it.

Fourth, the feel of the purple clay cup in your hand.

A real purple clay cup feels very good in your hand. It feels warm and smooth, and it won't slip in your hand. But if it is a fake purple clay cup, it will feel rough in your hand, and the surface will feel dry if you rub it hard.

Fifth, the sound made by the purple clay cup when in use.

When you turn the lid of a purple clay cup, there will be a pleasant "rustling" sound. However, if it is a fake purple clay cup, the sound will be dull and unpleasant. Also, when you pour hot water into the purple clay cup, there will be a sound. If the sound is hoarse, it means that the quality of the purple clay is good. If there is any other sound, it means that the quality of the purple clay cup is not good.

Sixth, the color of tea brewed in a purple clay cup.

In the market, some people use ceramic cups to impersonate purple clay cups, but some people are even more hateful. They use chemical cups to impersonate purple clay cups. Moreover, this kind of chemical cup will fade when it is rinsed with hot water. The best thing is to pour boiled water into the purple clay cup to see if the purple clay cup will fade. If it does, this kind of purple clay cup is fake and cannot be used.
