'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

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
