The small coal kiln vermilion clay from the family collection used for this Zisha pot comes from the 1000 meter interlayer of the Hongmiao small coal mine at the foot of the Huanglong Mountain, and is a lump of greasy clay that is in between the coal block and the sandstone. The thickness of the mud layer is only between 5 centimeters and 20 centimeters.
