This is a very special pot, made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke.
Master Zhang Ke is under the direct high tutelage of National Grand Master of Ceramic Arts and also the next-in-line National Grand Master of The Arts, Chen Guo Liang.
Grand Master Chen Guo Liang 陈国良, 国家陶瓷艺术大师 is the ZiSha's fraternity Master and Authority on Thin-Walled Technique on making ZiSha pots. He is the Number One. He is also one of the remaining two Grand Masters and authority for Ornate pots (with all due respect and after the passing of Grand Master Jiang Rong).
This is not just made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, this is made from rare and esteemed BenShan LüNi, and of amazing thin-walled technique. And this pot came out of the kiln intact and perfect. This is ALSO a Shui Ping Pot, and this floats balanced on water. Precious and to be treasured for life.
Outstanding pot.
Video and Paper certification.
Yepp! That's me (and that's the pot that really does float on water - I've tried it). Honestly the shabby background of my room isn't doing the aesthetics of this pot any justice. But nonetheless it is one beautiful piece of practical art. Made from a virtually extinct type of Zisha clay, it steeps up wonderful white, green and lightly roasted TGYs. And since it is extremely thin-walled, it doesn't scorch those delicate tea leaves.
Thanks Ian for letting this pot catch my eye.

the craftsmanship is top notch. i really like the low profile and wide opening. makes it very easy to use with bigger leaf and easier to clean. definitely recommend to anyone in the hunt for a pot this size and shape. i would buy it again. two thumbs up from me
Love the puffer fish style. The recessed base makes it even more special. Fantastic work. This is a very special addition to my collection.
This is my first fully handmade zisha and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. The form is so balanced and well-crafted. It is so light! The pour is like glass, I’ve never experienced anything like it. I am truly grateful to Chen Fa Chu and RealZisha for being and doing what you do. Thank you.

This is a work of art, incredible details and hard work was put in to achieve this level of perfection.
I was guided throughout the whole process of choosing the perfect pot for my needs and I was given many examples and recommendations.
If you want a real yixing pot this is the place to come and if you have any questions they are happy to help and guide you into choosing your next piece of art.
The craftmanship is perfect and the pour - surprisingly smooth! So pleased with my first Zisha pot. Beautifully packaged too! Thank you!
