The flat-bottomed waisted pomegranate vessel unearthed from the Luotuodun site possesses excellent plasticity. After processing and firing, it displays a warm and lustrous color, with a smooth and even surface on the body, presenting a sandy texture of fine granular effect.

Therefore, Zhou Gaoqi of the Ming dynasty recorded in his essay *Yangxian Ming Hu Xi* (Catalogue of Famous Teapots from Yangxian): "In the past hundred years, teapots made of silver, tin, and those from Fujian and Henan have become secondary, while Yixing pottery is esteemed."

In July 1976, during infrastructure construction at the Hongqi Ceramics Factory No. 3 in Yixing, the Yangjiao Mountain kiln site was discovered, yielding large quantities of kiln furniture and zisha ware fragments.
