higher as well.  Zi Sha by its virtue, have the highest shrinkage rate of all ceramic clay.  Zi Ni and Duan Ni thus have that 70% success rate, while Zhu Ni has even higher shrinkage rate and thus even lower success rate (the lowest of all ceramic clay.)]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Craftsmen are wholeheartedly committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with
