1. Alignment technology: Semi-handmade teapots mainly rely on gypsum molds for alignment, while full-handmade teapots mainly rely on craftsmen's eyes and hands for alignment, which are completely different.
2, production process: semi-manual renovation in the mold, the force comes from the inside, the whole hand is plastic, and the force comes from the outside. It is relatively difficult to make a handmade pot, which requires a lot of time and energy, and it also tests the craftsman's skill.
3. Usage: Because the semi-manual teapot is stressed, there will be no sand particles gathering inside, and the air permeability will be worse than that of the full-manual teapot. So making tea is usually done by hand.
