Heroes do not wear capes.  We regards Wang Xing as one.  Humble, hardworking and single-mindedly continuing his pursuit to help us all with affordable, high quality true Fully-Handmade ZiSha pots.
Here is Wang Xing!!  A great salute to him and his hard work, as he had served many of you friends previously with efforts earlier this year!

THIS is his LATEST, the Duo Qiu 掇球 crafted for all of you dearest friends to collect and use!

Duo Zhi 掇只 is the Austere shape and model created by Shao Da Heng.
Duo Zhi 掇只 has a roundish body.  It looks very bossy and pompous if crafted big, and yet is very cute and stately at the same time when crafted small.  Also, an all time ZiSha Classic which all of us will collect at least one in our lives.  The significant dome of air on top, after the hot water is steeped in, and the lid closed, will allow for aeration of your tea.  Pour is fun!  It is relatively tall, and one reaches and catches easily onto the handle.  The huge dome of air on top also allows the first millisecond of pour to be swift, as air is easily expandable (and in case the lid knob's tiny hole is being blocked by water during your earlier pouring of hot water over the whole pot after steeping in the hot water to the leaves and closing the lid).

Crafted at ~125ml to cater for our tea friends who requiring a small delectable and adorable classic ZhuNi pot for Gung Fu tea steepings. Suitable for one to two persons.

Wang Xing's skills are brilliant.
His mastery of the overall shape is here for us to savour.
The Xing Ti 形体 of his works are superb!  From the photographs, we admire and easily appreciate his amazing Craftsmanship.
This is ZiSha Art, working with XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi, one with even higher shrinkage than ZiNi and DuanNi, and thus a lot more deformities that CAN arise easily during firing.  Success rates between 50-70%.  We bear witness to dear Wang Xing's skills as he PAINSTAKINGLY and PROUDLY presents his labor of love for all of you friends.


TRULY FULLY-HANDMADE AND DELICATELY MADE.

NOT those thick-/irregular-thickness-walled ones which are actually fake "Fully-handmade ZhuNi pots" utilising the cheating new technology: "车一刀 Che Yi Dao": Such ZhuNi pots utilizing Che Yi Dao process, have been sprouting up in the market since early 2022. Che Yi Dao involves a swivelling-rotational cutter that goes around a roughly-finished ZhuNi pot to cut the outer surface into a perfect shape. This cutter obliviates the need of accomplished skill of a true Fully-Handmaking Craftsman. Obviously, Che Yi Dao also absolves the need of a skilled FHM Craftsman to 1)pound the slab into a careful thin-slab, 2)paddle-pat the slab into a uniform shape purely manually.

In the utilisation of Che Yi Dao cutter, the worker will just need to 1) roughly pound the slab into a slightly thicker slab. After that the worker rounds up this slab as part of the main body, and will just 2)need to ROUGHLY paddle-pat it into shape. After which he sets up the Che Yi Dao cutter to revolve and cut the body into a perfect shape.

Presented by Craftsman Wang Xing 王兴。
And he thanks you for your kindest support of his Art!
Steep tea with his Craft, Friends!
Savour his superb skills, dearest Friends!
BRING ONE HOME, USE IT and you will know all about Fully-Handmade ZiSha, the feel of real and quality YiXing ZiSha, the nurturing of Patina, how the true Patina feels and looks like, the Aura exuded from a Fully-Handmade Pot which others simply can't bring forth, and, Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming's skills, savour the pour.  You will know everything then.

Explained, https://www.realzisha.com/blogs/news/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot.   Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot.  Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully.  Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month.  For ZiSha models/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well.  Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too.  Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect.  We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and Craft.
~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Again, another tremendous labor of love by our trusted and committed collaborative Craftsman.  It is a team effort and we thank you dearest Friends for your grandest support to the honest and the dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen here left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.


The lines and detailing speak of Craftsman Wang Xing's EXTREME CARE AND TIME taken to craft each part, each pot.  Hold one, hold up one, swing the work around.  Carefully examine his Fully-Handmade work.  Look at it from afar, from near, and it will grow on you, with fine detailing with MUCH THOUGHT on each part, with MUCH TIME spent on every part, section.  Because this is what Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art should be, and HOW FULLY-HANDMADE ZISHA ART is so different from and light years ahead of the ubiquitous jigger-machined pots and half-handmade pots masquerading under the sales tagline of "fully-handmade zisha" pots.  These latter JM/HHM pots are made in what we call 流水线 a.k.a. 'Factory-Line operation' whereby the main pot body after being jigger-machined or coming off from the mould, is passed to the next worker who fits on the spout, and subsequently this second worker will pass the pot on to another worker who will in turn fit on the handle.  Continuing so, the pressed lid is likewise passed to another worker who fit on the lid knob.  EACH WORKER has NO IDEA what the other one is doing, and they are always working on fixed time lines stated by the boss.  For example, the worker being "passed the baton" a pot with the spout just fixed onto the body by his colleague, will only focus on fixing on the handle, with nil to little regard to WHETHER THE HANDLE fixed on will be cohesive with the spout.  Each worker has NO idea of HOW THE FINAL POT WILL LOOK LIKE.  Beyond poor craftsmanship and clay, the result of such processes are ugly pots with poor cohesiveness which experienced Artists, Craftsmen and collectors will tell from a metre away.  Experienced people in us, do not need to pick up a pot to check whether it is fully-handmade or made of zisha, we can tell from a metre away just by looking at the pot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The keywords are: Detailing and Cohesiveness.

A GOOD Fully-Handmade ZiSha Work combines great detailing and cohesiveness.
~~~~~~~~~~
Also to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you : besides the usual important, critical and beautiful hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot, this pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks evident on 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 Wang Xing; During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these cutting strokes will 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 fake, those Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC continuous circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.
Therefore, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, jagged lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen "Workbench Lines/Marks".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Dear Friends, during the photo-taking process, five to six separate spotlights above and around, are used.  Looking at the photos, the collar-rim of the lid-body interface thus shows the various spotlights' reflection.  You will therefore see 2 to 3 scattered brighter spots around the collar-rim.  Some friends had asked before, "is the rim-collar having any irregularity in circularity?".  Thus, rest assured.  Do not misconstrue the two to three brighter spots around the lid-body rim collar to mean any irregularity in circularity of the rim-collar.
Yes, the rim-collars of all these ZiSha works crafted by our Craftsmen ARE REGULAR in CIRCULARITY :-D, and you can rest assured.  Thank you Friends.)
