Li Xing 梨形, 151.2ml, ZhaoZhuang ZhuNi 赵庄朱泥, by Craftsman Zhao Xiao Wei 赵小卫 + Bamboo Engraving and Inscription by L4 Artist Xing Su 行素。

151.2ml.

“春风得意马蹄疾 一日看尽长安花” from Tang Dynasty poet 孟郊。

This poem means,

"My horse proudly gallops with the gentle breeze of Spring.

In one day I see all Flowers of Chang'An that make my heart sing."

Our L4 Assoc Master Xing Su, she comes forth on this series!
With virtuosity and flair, she graces this new series of Zhao Zhuang Zhu Ni Li Xing works with her delicate and graceful engraving.
Besides performing deft calligraphy engraving on Assoc Master Du's and Assoc Master Yang Quan Sheng's works, she performs here on Zhao Xiao Wei's ZhuNi works again!

Li Xing is one of the most lovely Austere shapes which XiaoMeiYao is made into!  A highly limited run here as well as our recent Fang Gu, Xi Shi, Pan Hu, Ming Lu, Shui Ping and JingZhou ShiPiao models.  We hope you friends have loved all of them!

Li Xing exudes the Aura of Chinese Orientalism, 2)for a narrowing top ZiSha model, it has a wider opening than Si Ting for better ease of introducing tea leaves and washing after steeping, 3)has a sharp-ish spout for decisive cutting of flow, and 4)has a slightly raised lid that stores a column of air above the tea water level when the lid is closed, so that during the initial first moment of pour with that few degrees of tilt, tea water flows out decisively and easily right from the start.

Crafted at ~140-150ml to cater for our tea friends who want a small ZhuNi pot for Gung Fu tea steepings, and suitable for one to two persons.
