Situations 1. ***Almost an Exodus: MANY FULLY-HANDMAKING CRAFTSMEN had left in the past two years, to join the Jigger-machining factories because the bosses at these plants are paying them $1500-$2000 each a month. For the sake of a) higher income, b) easy-ness of work, and c) income stability. There is no way one would refuse the offer to join them for the above 3 reasons. You have seen in our previous post: how much income a FHMaking ZiSha Craftsman earns a month...only $1000, from the calculations we had elucidated and brought to light in the previous article. This income is not stable, they are self-employed and some months such a Craftsman may go with either A) the whole batch of hard-worked pots coming out of the...

1. Actual ZiSha landscape at YiXing, Ground Zero: the honest but struggling, the hyped up, the myths, the misinformation, the threat from ubiquitous machined pots, the monies, the uphill fight against forgeries and imitations.

Artists, Craftsmen in YiXing, we in the know, we all know these facts. We piece up in as brief as possible, but also comprehensively explain the TRUE landscape in the ZiSha world. Today, together we will get to understand and learn of the actual, full landscape of the ZiSha industry, explaining why 99.999% of people outside of China, who buy from any online portal/website/selling platforms, have NOT been acquiring the authentic Fully-Handmade ZiSha pots. Well, EVEN 99.99% of local Chinese are being hoaxed into buying fake "Fully-Handmade ZiSha" pots from even reputable retailers, whether brick-and-mortar, or online.FACT FIRST:NO JIGGER-MACHINED NON-ZISHA POT is ever sold by such retailers as "JIGGER-MACHINED NON-ZISHA POT" ALL JIGGER-MACHINED NON-ZISHA POTS are SOLD, MASQUERADED and LISTED...

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

Once again the crew and artists of realzisha delivers excellence on all levels. This teapot is an amazing brewing vessel and beautiful to look at. Thank you once again.
