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.
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.
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.
very nice teapot. thank you Ian and Mr Zhang Ke
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.
This Ming Lu is my first teapot of this style and my first that is fully handmade. The slight texture of the fired clay, lovely color, low profile, wide mouth, and sharp narrow spout are all great features. It brewed red oolong well and has become one of my favorite teapots.
I would like to express our family's gratitude to everyone who was involved in creating this teapot. It is beautiful, and there's nothing more to add. You can see for yourself in the photo; we tried our best ;)
Wishing peace and kindness to everyone!
I am very pleased with this teapot. Pulling it out of the box the satisfaction of a well crafted work of art could be felt immediately.
Craftsman Chen Fa Chu 陈法初 did a wonderful job! The symmetry and balance are remarkable and it pours beautifully. I consider myself lucky to have got the last one in this series. So happy to add it to my burgeoning collection! I wish him and everyone at RealZiSha great and continued success.
I have rarely seen such dedication, passion and love of a ’product’, as well as kindness.
The said teapot is just so marvellous in its simple and pure beauty.
Thank you for offering such rare beauty.
With kindest regards,
Françoise
Good day to everyone!
I've received this teapot. Well, what can I say? I'm not an expert.
From that perspective, I can't judge!
But the teapot is damn good, excellently made. Attention to the smallest details, a piece of Chinese culture on your table!
A huge thank you to everyone involved in the process, from the craftsman to the sellers. And to your entire team.
All the best to you!
The craftsmanship is amazing and the ZiSha craft is beautiful. Love my pot
This is my first fully handmade zisha teapot. I have bought several machined pots earlier and they Are no where near as good as this one. Its seasons really nice and looks amazing. I had many doubts before my purcase, spesifically since i have been fooled into buying «real handmade» pots before, but Ian and hes crew have been very helpful and informative. I will buy more pots from realzisha very soon. Thanks Ian.
The most beautiful teapot I ever have. I collect about 50pots. This is the best 👌 👍 😍 🥰
This is my first zisha teapot and I love it!
Craftsman Jiang Bin's work is breathtaking, every curve feels right. The lid fits perfectly with almost no movement. Every seam is invisible on the outside yet proudly on display on the inside.
What an amazing display of artistry and craftsmanship. I'm so happy I get to make tea with it everyday!
Thank you Jiang Bin for your craftsmanship, and RealZisha for working so hard to make it easy to find real fully handmade zisha teapots!
My favorite zhou pan that I have seen. It is meticulously sculpted: seamless lid-to- body interface and perfectly crafted circular lines and shape. I love the smooth matte surface, sleek but somehow feels soft. Thank you to Associate Master Xu Jian for the opportunity to meet and speak about this work, and to Ian and Yilei for arranging the meeting.
I recently received this handmade teapot and I'm enamored with its elegance and craftsmanship. The smooth, flawless surface showcases meticulous attention to detail, while the pour is remarkably smooth and precise, making each tea session a delight. This teapot seamlessly blends beauty with functionality, embodying the rich tradition of ZiSha craftsmanship. It's a work of art that I couldn't be happier with.
This charming teapot is made even more beautiful by Assoc Master Du's skill and his choice of clay. The Tiao Sha combination clay is a mellow chocolate with tiny orange/gold flecks. The inscription is a stanza from a poem (thanks to Ian for the explanation!) hailing the commitment and dedication to one's art. A beautiful work by Assoc Master Du!
This is my first zisha teapot and I couldn’t be happier. Oolong has been transformed! As soon as I saw it I knew it was the stepping stone to zisha teaware. Everything about it was just right.
Craftsmen Wang Xing 王兴 and Ding Tie Ping 丁铁平 (德) both did a wonderful job. Not only is it functional but I will proudly display it as a work of art. I wish them and everyone at RealZiSha great and continued success.
I love the austere, modern look of this teapot. It makes great tea and is a pleasure to use. A most excellent teapot by Assoc Master Du!
The Di Xiang has a lovely grey/brown salt-and-pepper kind of color and a slight stony texture, as if it were carved instead of sculpted. The teapot is wonderful to hold and to look at. It makes great tea as well, of course, although it's almost too elegant to use (out of fear of breakage because I am accident prone, which makes my love of zisha teapots hilarious) - so my Di Xiang teapot is mostly a “statement” piece for display. Beautiful work by Assoc Master Yang.
Crafted and created by assoc master Xu Yan for the Dragon Lunar New Year! The curves and bends of this Sheng He Tao are really up to the museum standard. Thank you the realzisha team and assoc master Xu Yan for this beautiful New Year gift. Happy New Year of the Dragon!
It is another collectible piece of Zisha Art. This beautiful Yun Ying is eye-catching and mesmerizing. The design is elegant, and my words can't give all details. The pouring is strong. The pot feels sturdy, and the aura is radiating. Thank you the realzisha team and assoc master Zhang for this speical artwork of the Dragon Lunar New Year!
We adore this lovely little pot! But even more than that, we cannot speak highly enough of the help and customer service Ian and Yi-Lei provide along every step of the way. They have provided information, education, and service far beyond what most companies would provide. We absolutely recommend RealZisha and the artisans they support to anyone looking to purchase Yixing clay teaware.
Superbly crafted as always from Associate Master Du, the teapots are just as functional as they are beautiful. Thank you for kindly accepting the commission request, it was a quite a surprise when I was able to unbox the parcel and finally see the pots!
A wonderful piece for individual brewing. The clay interacts well with a Yun Wu Green Tea. The lid fit is seamless and the pour is excellent. The depth of craft is evident in the piece's austere symmetry. Chen Fa Chu is a clear disciple of his art!
