In the Yuan Dynasty, it developed into a blue-and-white porcelain tea set with beautiful and generous shape, which was not only loved by domestic people, but also exported to overseas. Sichuan Dayi, together with Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, Liling in Hunan and Qimen in Anhui, is the four major producing areas of white porcelain tea sets in China.

Its tire is thick, and it is difficult to be cold after being heated for a long time, so it is the most important to use it. Otherwise, it is thin or purple.
