ZenTeakraft: How to determine the authenticity of private customized products through NFT?
Do you know the difference between the real thing and the fake one?
Let us illustrate this with a short story:: In 2018, in Jingdezhen, ceramic craftsman Sophie trembled as she held up a broken teacup. This was a Song Dynasty Yaobian Tianmoku teacup that she had been replicating for three years, but it was questioned by the buyer as a fake during transportation. The lightning-like golden crack on the glaze should have been a medal of honor for the flame of the wood-fired kiln, but it was ridiculed as a "defect".
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the "Landscape Painting Scroll" purchased by Chinese-American engineer Ma Yingjie for $100,000 has been copied thousands of times. Late at night, he found a purple clay pot left by his grandfather, with a line of small words engraved on the bottom of the pot: "Handmade things are spiritual."
In 2020, a rainstorm caused Sophie's dragon kiln to collapse. She dug out her grandfather's notebook from the ruins, and on the yellowed paper was written: "Real teaware can breathe."
In the same week, Ma Yingjie made a breakthrough in the laboratory. He scanned his grandfather's fingerprints when making pots into a 3D model and converted it into a digital fingerprint on the blockchain. When he saw Sophie's live video of rescuing kiln bricks, he suddenly realized: **Those "imperfections" that cannot be replicated by machines are the most precious digital ID cards**.
Your tea, your legend
Today, when you receive a customized tea set from ZenTeakraft:
1. **Touch the bottom of the cup with your phone**:
AR shows that this piece of clay comes from a 300-year-old mine in Fujian. When it was mined, the first snow after the beginning of winter was falling in the area.
The breathing rate of the craftsman Master Wang when kneading the clay (18 times per minute) was recorded as dynamic ripples
2. **Put on VR glasses**:
Go to the firing site and feel the 1320℃ heat wave evaporating Sophie's sweat into glazed stars
See your name laser engraved into the body with your own eyes, turning into a string of eternal codes on the blockchain
3. **When giving it to others**:
The new owner scans the tea set and will see the digital message you left when tasting tea
Every time it changes hands, a new "life ring" is automatically generated, just like the patina on ancient porcelain

*Customer sharing: James's new life**
London financier James once spent £200,000 to buy "Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain", but it was identified as a fake. At ZenTeakraft, he:
Personally prepared the glaze and blended the lavender essential oil that his late wife loved most into the glaze
Requested to engrave the opening sentence of "Pride and Prejudice": "It is a truth universally acknowledged..."
Set through NFT: When the teapot sells the 100th cup of tea, ETH will be automatically donated to the Cancer Foundation
"Now every time I drink tea, I can see Lisa's smile in VR." He said, "This is the warmth that mechanical replicas can never give."
