I love this custom made BenShan LuNi teapot that was handcrafted by the Artist Zhang, Ke. I owe many BenShan LuNi clay teapots, this is by far one of the best BenShan LuNi I’ve ever seen. The craft skills are beatable. I highly recommend this artist.
First time purchasing a bigger teapot. This one is for my daily morning brew of tea. Very thick and robust. The lid also stays in place when pouring making it easy to use without thinking it might fall and break.
I’m becoming pleasantly acquainted with my new fang gu pot. It is a nice handmade pot and I’m looking forward to adding another to my collection in the near future.
I am delighted by this adorable pot. Communication with Ian has been excellent, shipping was fast and efficient.
At first, I was afraid of the 200 ml volume would make the piece too large or impractical to use other than as a mere statement piece, but the craftsmanship is so refined and well thought that I hardly notice the size anymore. It is very easy to use, and I now find the pot most adorable and not in the least intimidating.
Clay is superb, with a deep presence and a tactile feel but the precise design and high firing almost give the impression of holding a piece made of metal, both light and dense.
The clay carving is mesmerizing and I never get tired to gaze at it with all its minute details and subtle colours.
The brews I get are rich and thick ; the pot works very well with all kinds of tea, but even more convincingly with young sheng pu'erh.
Congratulation to master Li for her magnificent work and many thanks for providing us with the privilege of using such a great pot !
This Teapot is absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for in everyday! Thank You so much for sourcing this artwork. Will be a lifelong piece for tea for years to come!
