Thank you for appreciating this latest hard work and successful pot out from the kiln!!! Fully-Handmade, by our new and invited collaborative Craftsman Zhang Jiao 张佼, utilising Lao Zi Ni 老紫泥, size/volume of 168.8ml.
This is a challenging and high difficulty Austere pot to craft.
Zhang Jiao 张佼 has done it for all of us, perfectly.
This pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks in the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks left on the clay slab , complementary to the marks on the workbench of the Craftsman Zhang Jiao!!!🙇♂️🤗🎋 During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsman will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these leave marks on the studio workbench. Especially the first major forceful cut across the table to delineate the clay she/he wants to utilize to form the main body of the body. Thus when the craftsman subsequently pound the clay slab on a well-worn workbench which bear these cut-in marks, these marks will be etched complementarily onto the clay slab! Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot. (For example, a partially handmade pot will not show these marks). And for those Jigger-machined pots, what they manifest are CONCENTRIC, continuous circular lines, all parallel to one another.
This Teapot is absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for in everyday! Thank You so much for sourcing this artwork. Will be a lifelong piece for tea for years to come!
This is my first time investing in a pot like this and I couldn’t be happier! As a practitioner of Kung Fu, the time spent crafting my pot was certainly recognized and appreciated. Tea time has quickly become a luxury.
I ordered the purple clay pot from realzisha, and I'm happy to see that even in Kentucky I can get a genuine piece. A foreigner like me is surprised at how small it is, but I appreciate the rough and smooth texture and am currently drinking my favorite tea from Yunnan out of this lovely tea pot.
Two perfect cups!
I own 5 pots now by realzisha. I can only attest to their honesty, clays en craftsmanship. This is no exception. The pot is very, very well balanced when pouring tea. The lid doesn’t leak and fits perfectly. It’s an artpiece on its own. I tried it with snow mountain oolong and it tastes great. It will definitely not be my last pot I purchase from them. I recommend this artist and realzisha whole heartedly! It came beautiful wrapped to the Netherlands!
