Whenever I go to a museum, I see normal items that were made in extraordinary ways. Videos like these help me see an old piece and imagine it when it was first made, and the beauty that it must have held before fading away.

It's somehow possible, because the shape of the vessel in which you brew your drink has some impact on the whole process, for example due to the amount of steam that can leak out through the lid and so on, and because I believe in the past people paid more attention to such details, a modern copy of the then teapot would probably had similar qualities - if the original had them in the first place, as we might suspect it did.

It shouldn't fade, it's cobalt oxide. I think it's just more blue because she used a lot more cobalt. The original only has it in thin strips.

My guess would be that her colors are more vibrant, because her clays were made with modern, purified chemicals. Back when the original is made, the pigments would have not been so chemically saturated.

Cobalt colour is not be faded easily. Just the temperature is important. Higher temperature makes cobalt darker and more blue, even black.

If you look really carefully on the new pot, you can see that the blue bled into the clay. It actually looks like the original pot's blue bled a little too, but only a little bit. That might be why her pot's blue looks more vibrant to you: there is more blue and greater variety in the shades of blue because of the bleeding. The areas the blue bled into are also lighter than the concentrated lines
