Ru Piao 乳瓢, 193.9ml, Lao Duan Ni 老段泥, by our Craftsman Wang Jian Long 王建龙。

Dearest Friends, we present our new collaborative Craftsman, Wang Jian Long, and we asked him to do his best for you friends.

This is what we had discussed and specially arranged with him.

For this, he worked on Lao Duan Ni, to craft this beautiful Ru Piao.

We also engaged Yun Shi, our trusted Craftsman, to engrave the words "Le Zai Qi Zhong" 乐在其中, and the exquisite natural-flowing and three-dimensional form of two shrimps.

Excellent form of the Ru Piao achieved here.  We see Jian Long's care, as he carefully melds the spout with the sculptured base attachment to the main body.  The form of the Ru Piao is perfectly proportioned.

Appreciate and cherish this latest collaborative hard work and successful pot out from the kiln.  We welcome our new and invited collaborative Craftsman Wang Jian Long.  We thank him and he too is very glad to be with us.

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 Wang Jian Long!!!🙇‍♂️🤗🎋  During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsman 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 a well-worn workbench which bear these cut-in marks, these marks will be etched complementarily onto the clay slab!  Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot.  (For example, a partially handmade pot will not show these marks).  And for those Jigger-machined pots, what they manifest are CONCENTRIC, continuous circular lines, all parallel to one another.
