This is a specially commissioned pot by Esteemed Mr N.C. from Canada, specifying Cao Family's ZhuNi DaHongPao to be made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke 张轲, into the very svelte Si Ting 思亭 ZiSha Work for his daily steeping of Oolong and High Fragrance teas.
Master Zhang Ke 张轲 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 陈国良。
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 to, and after the passing of, Grand Master Jiang Rong 蒋蓉. We miss her).
This is not just made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, this is made from our own Cao Family's very precious and exquisite ZhuNi DaHongPao.
Precious and to be treasured for life.
Svelte, delicate and the perfect curves, improvised and perfected by Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke made 23 spouts and tested all of them before being perfectly satisfied and happy with the 23rd one. Zhang Ke is of enneagram type 1 character. He will do his best for all his patrons. Even if one pot bogs him down for two weeks, he will do it. It impedes his livelihood and his income. But he lives frugally and commits to perfection of work, more than churning quantities. The epitome of Type 1.
Video and Paper certification. Assoc Master Zhang Ke 张轲 to address Mr N.C. and after receipt of pot, Zhang Ke links up with Mr N.C. via Video Streamyard call to certify and chat with this esteemed patron, regarding this Work.
