'Factory-Line operation' whereby the main pot body after being jigger-machined or coming off from the mould, is passed to the next worker who fits on the spout, and subsequently this second worker will pass the pot on to another worker who will in turn fit on the handle.  Continuing so, the pressed lid is likewise passed to another worker who fit on the lid knob.  \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEACH WORKER has NO IDEA what the other one is doing,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and they are always working on fixed time lines stated by the boss.  For example, the worker being \"passed the baton\" a pot with the spout just fixed onto the body by his colleague, will only focus on fixing on the handle, \u003cstrong\u003ewith nil to little regard to WHETHER THE HANDLE fixed on will be cohesive with the spout.  Each worker has NO idea of HOW THE FINAL POT WILL LOOK LIKE.\u003c\/strong\u003e  Beyond poor craftsmanship and clay, the result of such processes are ugly pots with poor cohesiveness which experienced Artists, Craftsmen and collectors will tell from a metre away.  Experienced people in us, do not need to pick up a pot to check whether it is fully-handmade or made of zisha, we can tell from a metre away just by looking at the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003cbr\u003eThe keywords are: Detailing and Cohesiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA GOOD Fully-Handmade ZiSha Work combines great detailing and cohesiveness.\u003cbr\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAlso to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you : besides the usual important, critical and beautiful hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot, this pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks evident on the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks (protruding) left on the clay slab, complementary to the marks on the workbench (indented into the wood) of the Craftsman Zhang Huan; During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsladies and Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these cutting strokes will 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 the workbench, these marks will be etched onto the clay slab.  Thus you are \"enjoying\" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot.  ( Even a partially handmade pot will not show these marks, for they will suffer the compressing action during the making: as the half-handmaker worker will reach his fingers in and pressed on the slab outwards, exerting force against the outer mould.  This flattens all these convex Ni Deng Wen lines if they had been present earlier. ) ( And those fake, those Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC continuous circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform. )\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTherefore, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, jagged lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen \"Workbench Lines\/Marks\".\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCraftsman Zhang thanks you for your kindest support of his Work and adopting his work on your tea table while you steep teas for yourself and your family and Friends!

This time crafted by our self-sacrificial and hardworking Craftsman Chen Fa Chu!  It originates from the Ming Dynasty, and in the 1970s was modified by legendary Gu Jing Zhou, the shape of which lasted till today as the definitive most beautiful Xiao Ying.  It served as a ZiSha gift for the government to provide for foreign dignitaries.  The Body's top and bottom sections both sport the amazing convex and concave curves ending in the bottom plate and the top opening plate for the lid to sit on:  these two sections tests the Craftsman in his or her patting skills.  The spout's base has a wide lumen allowing a strong and voluminous pull, and then pushes out through the sharper opening.   The spout is a great beauty by itself, which demands a lot of time and skill to perfect, sometimes taking as much as a day to just get it right to be fitted onto the body!  The adjoining part to the body must also be dligently sculpted so that the whole ZiSha pot looks absolutely cohesive and balanced: spout, body, lid and handle.  Indeed a very demanding Austere ZiSha GREAT!!!  The handle's design renders it delightful ergonomics during use.  You have to handle it to understand how the whole pot sits on your lifting and pouring hand.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDO not miss

https:\/\/www.realzisha.com\/blogs\/news\/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot.   Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot.  Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully.  Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month.  For ZiSha models\/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well.  Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too.  Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect.  We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and

Xiao Ying.  It served as a ZiSha gift for the government to provide for foreign dignitaries.  The Body's top and bottom sections both sport the amazing convex and concave curves ending in the bottom plate and the top opening plate for the lid to sit on:  these two sections tests the Craftsman in his or her patting skills.  The spout's base has a wide lumen allowing a strong and voluminous pull, and then pushes out through the sharper opening.   The spout is a great beauty by itself, which demands a lot of time and skill to perfect, sometimes taking as much as a day to just get it right to be fitted onto the body!  The adjoining part to the body must also be dligently sculpted so that the whole ZiSha pot looks absolutely cohesive and balanced: spout, body, lid and handle.  Indeed a very demanding Austere ZiSha GREAT!!!  The handle's design renders it delightful ergonomics during use.  You have to handle it to understand how the whole pot sits on your lifting and pouring

Xiao Ying.  It served as a ZiSha gift for the government to provide for foreign dignitaries.  The Body's top and bottom sections both sport the amazing convex and concave curves ending in the bottom plate and the top opening plate for the lid to sit on:  these two sections tests the Craftsman in his or her patting skills.  The spout's base has a wide lumen allowing a strong and voluminous pull, and then pushes out through the sharper opening.   The spout is a great beauty by itself, which demands a lot of time and skill to perfect, sometimes taking as much as a day to just get it right to be fitted onto the body!  The adjoining part to the body must also be dligently sculpted so that the whole ZiSha pot looks absolutely cohesive and balanced: spout, body, lid and handle.  Indeed a very demanding Austere ZiSha GREAT!!!  The handle's design renders it delightful ergonomics during use.  You have to handle it to understand how the whole pot sits on your lifting and pouring

https:\/\/www.realzisha.com\/blogs\/news\/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot.   Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot.  Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully.  Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month.  For ZiSha models\/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well.  Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too.  Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect.  We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and

and then pushes out through the sharper opening.   The spout is a great beauty by itself, which demands a lot of time and skill to perfect, sometimes taking as much as a day to just get it right to be fitted onto the body!  The adjoining part to the body must also be dligently sculpted so that the whole ZiSha pot looks absolutely cohesive and balanced: spout, body, lid and handle.  Indeed a very demanding Austere ZiSha GREAT!!!  The handle's design renders it delightful ergonomics during use.  You have to handle it to understand how the whole pot sits on your lifting and pouring hand.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDO not miss this Xiao Ying, an extremely treasured ZiSha work

will pass the pot on to another worker who will in turn fit on the handle.  Continuing so, the pressed lid is likewise passed to another worker who fit on the lid knob.  \u003cspan

'Factory-Line operation' whereby the main pot body after being jigger-machined or coming off from the mould, is passed to the next worker who fits on the spout, and subsequently this second worker will pass the pot on to another worker who will in turn fit on the handle.  Continuing so, the pressed lid is likewise passed to another worker who fit on the lid knob.  \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEACH WORKER has NO IDEA what the other one is doing,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and they are always working on fixed time lines stated by the boss.  For example, the worker being \"passed the baton\" a pot with the spout just fixed onto the body by his colleague, will only focus on fixing on the handle, \u003cstrong\u003ewith nil to little regard to WHETHER THE HANDLE fixed on will be cohesive with the spout.  Each worker has NO idea of HOW THE FINAL POT WILL LOOK LIKE.\u003c\/strong\u003e  Beyond poor craftsmanship and clay, the result of such processes are ugly pots with poor cohesiveness which experienced Artists, Craftsmen and collectors will tell from a metre away.  Experienced people in us, do not need to pick up a pot to check whether it is fully-handmade or made of zisha, we can tell from a metre away just by looking at the pot.\u003cbr\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003cbr\u003eThe keywords are: Detailing and Cohesiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA GOOD Fully-Handmade ZiSha Work combines great detailing and cohesiveness.\u003cbr\u003e~~~~~~~~~~\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Dear Friends, during the photo-taking process, five to six separate spotlights above and around, are used.  Looking at the photos, the collar-rim of the lid-body interface thus shows the various spotlights' reflection.  You will therefore see 2 to 3 scattered brighter spots around the collar-rim.  Some\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e friends had asked before, \"is the rim-collar having any irregularity in circularity?\".  Thus, rest assured.  Do not misconstrue the two to three brighter spots around the lid-body rim collar to mean any irregularity in circularity of the rim-collar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eYes, the rim-collars of all these ZiSha works crafted by our Craftsmen ARE REGULAR in CIRCULARITY :-D, and you can rest assured.  Thank you Friends.) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"realzisha.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44938594975894,"sku":null,"price":212.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3684\/4694\/files\/20250416_234959.jpg?v=1744819985"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3684\/4694\/collections\/20210825_214421.jpg?v=1629958215","url":"https:\/\/www.realzisha.com\/collections\/fanggu-%e4%bb%bf%e5%8f%a4.oembed?page=3","provider":"realzisha.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
