Han Tang Shi Piao 汉堂石瓢, 213.0ml, Di Cao Qing Zi Ni 底槽青紫泥, by our Collaborative Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明。

Dear Friends,
This is the Han Tang Shi Piao 汉堂石瓢, created by National Grand Master of The Arts: 徐汉堂 Xu Han Tang.  This is one of his proudest moment, and proudest creation.  It has gained respect from our YiXing ZiSha fraternity, championing and combining four strong adjectives altogether in its reverence: Austere, Gentlemanly, Oriental and Stately.  Combining curves, stylishness and yet exuding old Oriental charm in spades.  Ever since its debut into the ZiSha fraternity, it has swiftly established itself as one of the mainstay Giants of the Shi Piao variations!  Only a very well-trained, experienced and skilful Craftsman will be able to understand the curves and proportions perfectly, and here beautifully captured and crafted by Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming!

This latest Han Tang Shi Piao newly presented to you now by our Collaborative Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming who have brought your delightful Xi Shi's in the past two months!  Gu Xiao Ming has now settled in excellently with us after having been "roped in" by our Craftsman Chen Fa Chu in early 2024, all to be in a happy team dedicated to providing, serving and interacting with all of you through their craft, and enabling your full Chinese Tea experience!  Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Here in this Han Tang Shi Piao, Craftsman Gu also conscientiously sculpted a 手推内球孔 Hand-Pushed Spherical Filter to increase the number of filter holes for a solid and fast pour of tea out and with better catching of tea leaves at the bottom fast while allowing tea to flow out from the upper holes.

Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 thanks you dearest friends for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.  Enjoy his diligence, excellent handwork with this Han Tang Shi Piao and let his work accompany you on your tea journey!
