Metalware is one of the oldest appliances in China. It is made of metal materials such as gold, silver, copper, iron and tin. Before Emperor Qin Shihuang unified China, bronzes and other applications have been widely used. They are used as Chinese wine utensils, as well as for tea and water, until the tea becomes a drink, and the tea set is gradually separated. 
 
1. Copper tea set: It refers to tea drinking utensils made of copper. The use of white copper is the top grade, with less rust, and the shape is dominated by pots. For example, you can see the long-mouthed copper pot in the tea house in Sichuan. China had bronzes three thousand years ago but it was rarely used because of the rust and damage taste of teas.In 1994, Shanghai made a large copper teapot with a capacity of 2000 liters, a height of 2.0 meters and a diameter of 1.8 meters.
 



2. Gold and silver tea set: According to the classification of texture, the silver tea set is made by silver and the golden tea set is made by gold. Gold and silver are ductile, corrosion-resistant, and have beautiful colors and luster. Therefore, the production is extremely delicate and of high value. It is mostly used by the emperor and wealthy people. 




3. Tin tea set: Made of high-purity fine tin and made through multiple processes. Fine tin has good sealing performance and high ductility. Most of the tin tea sets are cans for tea storage.   



4. Iron tea set: There are iron tea sets, most of which are used as tools, such as Ding, but also used for boiling water. 



5. Stainless steel tea set: its material is alloy steel, which can resist the corrosion of acid, alkali and salt in the atmosphere. The appearance is bright and clean, the shape is regular and modern, the heat transfer is fast and it is mostly used as a travel article, such as a double-layer insulation cup.
