Grand Master Shao won the Panama Yr2020 International Exposition Gold Award with this Sui Tang Qian Gui pot. It is specifically 1)of volume 680ml, and 2)made of Master Shao's own proprietary Gu Tong Ni clay 古铜泥. He kept the winning pot in his own studio.
He made only few other Sui Tang Qian Gui pots but all are of 300ml and came either in Gu Tong Ni or Zi Ni.
He made ONLY one other Sui Tang Qian Gui pot exactly of the same 680ml and made of Gu Tong Ni: we at RealZisha.com sold this only other one availed to the world by Grand Master Shao, to a friend in Abu Dhabi.
this teapot is fabulous. very well crafted and the large opening makes it super easy to load and clean. the size is just right, not too big not too small. I am very happy with this pot and would buy again.
I’ve just received my ZiSha teapot from RealZiSha, and it’s absolutely amazing! Coming from Vietnamese tea culture, I know this pot will elevate my tea experience. The craftsmanship is beautiful, well-balanced, and feels perfect in hand.
A huge thank you to Ian, Yi-Lei, and the RealZiSha team for this incredible piece, and a special thanks to Chen Hua Jun, the talented craftsman behind this beautiful teapot. Your dedication to authentic artistry truly shines through. I can't wait to see how it enhances the flavour of my tea over time.
This is my first fully handmade zisha pot and I am exceptionally happy with my purchase. The craftsmanship is something to savour and the shrinkage lines running down the sides of the spot look particularly pleasing on this pot shape. Brews tea very well, particularly fragrant oolong varieties and young sheng. Very proud to own this pot.
I absolutely love my new teapot! The craftsmanship is stunning, every detail reflects the care and skill that went into making it. It’s a joy to hold and pour from. This teapot has made my gongfu sessions feel even more special. Highly recommend to any tea lover looking for an authentic, handmade piece.
