On the Yunnan Sourcing website it says that jian shui is made from clay from Hong He county. They say that when fired its more than twice as dense as yixing clay.

Why is clay density a good thing?
Also :”The unique glazeless polish ensures the all types of Jianshui purple pottery are acid resistant, alkali corrosion resistant, breathable, moisture resistant, and insulated
I’m so curious to hear if people like these pots in practise.
