Fully-Handmade, by our collaborative Craftsman Xu Bing 许冰, utilising Lao Zi Ni 老紫泥, size/volume of 260ml.
🌿🌿🌿
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. During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftladies and Craftsmen 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 the workbench, these marks will be etched onto the clay slab! Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot. Even a partially handmade pot will not show these marks. And those cheating Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.
Again, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, roughly horizontal lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen "Workbench Lines/Marks" 😊🌿🎋
the pot is very well made, balanced and finished nicely. i would purchase again without question. this size fits right in how i brew tea and this pot has made its way into my regular rotation. thank you very much
I'm a big fan of black teas and this pot is great for me and 4 friends just to sit down at night drinking black tea.
The clay of the pot feels fantastic I find it easy to clean and I'm in love with the box's that theses pot come in.
This is my first pot made from zisha clay and it feels worth the price.
Been hunting this site for months for a small Xi Shi in this particular clay. Absolutely impeccable craftmanship, couldn't be happier!
I found the Realzisha team to be very courteous, quick to respond and helpful to talk with when I had a question regarding my order. The teapot itself is a thing of beauty from the craftsmanship to lidfit, pour, tactile feel and clay! I have seen a very clear passion and eye for detail in Realzisha and will come back for more!
