Also to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you : observebesides 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 Wan.  During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftladies and 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.
