Why are the prices of cast iron pots so different?

Many tea lovers also find that the price in iron pot is getting different, ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. So, what factors lead to such a wide price difference? Customization is more expensive than mass production. As the saying goes, things are rare. Rare things in the world are more expensive. Money produced in large quantities, although not necessarily of poor quality, often exists in large quantities. And limited customized goods, of course, are much less. Just like the folk kilns and official kilns in porcelain, the price has suddenly increased many times. Carving wax is better than casting technology and its price is higher. Currency is generally cast by casting method, and high-end customization is generally cast by lost wax method. Generally speaking, the two methods are actually die casting, but the utilization rate of the mold is very different. The sand mold used in the sand turning method can be used many times without losing the casting details. The wax pattern used in the lost wax method can only be used once. With the progress of modern technology, the manufacturing cost of wax molds is getting lower and lower. Now some manufacturers have begun to increase the number of customized products by manufacturing more wax molds. According to Boss Wang, this method of copying molds can only copy 50 to 100 wax molds at most, and if there are too many, the details will be distorted. Finally, there is another key factor that merchants often use in publicity, that is, hand-made pots. Are there any handmade ones in modern times? Yes! However, only in the process of making some precious metals can it be made by hand. Such as silver pots, such as gold pots. They are all carved by craftsmen hammer by hammer. At this time, the value of gold and silver and the value of labor can be mutually improved. And the iron pot, the lifting space is much smaller. In fact, imagine that a "new iron pot" sells for tens of thousands of dollars, who will buy it? Therefore, in the iron pot industry, whether it is computer carving or hand carving, the concept of "manual" is only reflected in the mold making stage. No matter which engraving method is used, it needs to be reworked to form sand mold and lost wax mold. Iron pot contains unique and profound cultural charm. The use of carefully crafted iron pots is durable and handed down from generation to generation, which is an artistic enjoyment about life and beauty. Iron pots are durable goods, so you must be careful when shopping, so that you can buy a suitable iron pot.
