Wang Xing's skills are brilliant.
His mastery of the overall shape is here for us to savour.
The Xing Ti 形体, is just superb.
From the photographs, we admire and easily appreciate his amazing Craftsmanship.
This is 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.
We bear witness to dear Wang Xing's skills.

Additional Engraving specially arranged and accomplished by Craftsman Ding Tie Ping 丁铁平。

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.

Li Xing 梨形 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 梨形 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 ~180ml to cater for our tea friends who want a small ZhuNi pot for Gung Fu tea steepings, and suitable for one to two persons.

Amazing Teapot!

This is my first zisha teapot and I couldn’t be happier. Oolong has been transformed! As soon as I saw it I knew it was the stepping stone to zisha teaware. Everything about it was just right.
Craftsmen Wang Xing 王兴 and Ding Tie Ping 丁铁平 (德) both did a wonderful job. Not only is it functional but I will proudly display it as a work of art. I wish them and everyone at RealZiSha great and continued success.

Amazing Teapot!

Excellent piece of art

The teapot is beautiful, excellently crafted and the characters carved are crisp and bolt. I use it for sheng puerh, where the clay works great. I love it.

Incredible Craftsmanship!

This is my first zisha teapot, but I've found that you don't need much experience to see the obvious attention to detail and meticulous fine tuning of this teapot. No pictures do it justice, it is so much different actually holding one than it is looking at a picture. It is even better in person, I can feel the cool clay and taste the dark notes it adds to my sheng pu'er tea. It's really hard to explain it, even with pictures attached, but it's just amazing. Even the packaging was perfect and very sturdy. Blown away. I hopefully will buy more teapots in the future from RealZisha. Highly recommend.

My First Jiangponi Teapot and Second Fully Handmade Yixing

This Ming Shi Gong Deng is new to me in both form and substance. It is both tall and wide, lending it to versatility in the style of tea brewed, and has a short, wide spout for quick pouring. I used it to brew Dahongpao Yancha, which the Hongni Jiangponi clay expressed beautifully. In a way more pronounced than Zhuni zisha or Chaozhou zitao, this clay filters out strong roasts and reveals the flavors underneath.

Best quality Lu ni teapot

very nice teapot. thank you Ian and Mr Zhang Ke

Excellent
