This is a very special pot, made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke.
Master Zhang Ke is under the direct high tutelage of National Grand Master of Ceramic Arts and also the next-in-line National Grand Master of The Arts, Chen Guo Liang.
Grand Master Chen Guo Liang 陈国良, 国家陶瓷艺术大师 is the ZiSha's fraternity Master and Authority on Thin-Walled Technique on making ZiSha pots. He is the Number One. He is also one of the remaining two Grand Masters and authority for Ornate pots (with all due respect and after the passing of Grand Master Jiang Rong).
This is not just made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, this is made from rare and esteemed BenShan LüNi, and of amazing thin-walled technique. And this pot came out of the kiln intact and perfect. This is ALSO a Shui Ping Pot, and this floats balanced on water. Precious and to be treasured for life.
Outstanding pot.

Yepp! That's me (and that's the pot that really does float on water - I've tried it). Honestly the shabby background of my room isn't doing the aesthetics of this pot any justice. But nonetheless it is one beautiful piece of practical art. Made from a virtually extinct type of Zisha clay, it steeps up wonderful white, green and lightly roasted TGYs. And since it is extremely thin-walled, it doesn't scorch those delicate tea leaves.
Thanks Ian for letting this pot catch my eye.

I absolutely love this teapot. The attentional to detail is amazing and it really adds to the tea drinking experience. I am happy with Real Zisha, their products, and their service. Thank you!
What an incredible piece of art! The lid-pot interface is the tighest I have ever seen, and holding, admiring, and using this teapot has been the utmost joy. Photos also don’t do this teapot justice!
First time purchasing a bigger teapot. This one is for my daily morning brew of tea. Very thick and robust. The lid also stays in place when pouring making it easy to use without thinking it might fall and break.
I’m becoming pleasantly acquainted with my new fang gu pot. It is a nice handmade pot and I’m looking forward to adding another to my collection in the near future.
I am delighted by this adorable pot. Communication with Ian has been excellent, shipping was fast and efficient.
At first, I was afraid of the 200 ml volume would make the piece too large or impractical to use other than as a mere statement piece, but the craftsmanship is so refined and well thought that I hardly notice the size anymore. It is very easy to use, and I now find the pot most adorable and not in the least intimidating.
Clay is superb, with a deep presence and a tactile feel but the precise design and high firing almost give the impression of holding a piece made of metal, both light and dense.
The clay carving is mesmerizing and I never get tired to gaze at it with all its minute details and subtle colours.
The brews I get are rich and thick ; the pot works very well with all kinds of tea, but even more convincingly with young sheng pu'erh.
Congratulation to master Li for her magnificent work and many thanks for providing us with the privilege of using such a great pot !
