Jin Lin is a native of Jianshui who entered the purple pottery industry in 2004. "Born in Jianshui, I have heard about purple pottery making and decoration since I was a child, and gradually developed into a hobby, but I did not expect that it has now become a lifelong career." Jin Lin said that when he first started making purple pottery, there were only a few purple pottery workshops in the whole Jianshui, although tea pots and other utensils have appeared, but the production of purple pottery is still dominated by living utensils.
With the rapid development of economy and society, the people's demand for cultural and artistic consumer goods continues to grow, and the market demand for Jianshui purple pottery is also increasing. "Especially after drinking Pu'er tea has become the choice of more and more people, Jianshui Purple Pottery, as the first choice for making tea and storing tea, has also ushered in a new round of development." Jin Lin said that taking RenyeTang as an example, in the development of recent years, aiming at the function and cultural positioning of Jianshui purple pottery, he is also constantly innovating while retaining the production process of the older generation, and all kinds of traditional and innovative purple pottery products are quite popular in the market.
