Gorgeous pot, so expertly crafted, with magical effect on tea. I’m in awe!
I am delighted with my new teapot from realzisha. It is well made, elegant and the perfect size. I am looking forward to using it often.
After spending months searching through Facebook Marketplace and other online marketplaces, I realized how difficult it is to find an authentic Yixing teapot. Most listings were either obvious replicas, had questionable descriptions, or simply weren’t what I was looking for.
In the end, I decided to order from RealZisha, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I purchased the Qing Shi Li Mao Hu (清式笠帽壶), 214.9 ml, made from Tai Xi Lao Zi Ni (台西老紫泥), handcrafted by craftsman Zhu Shu (朱舒), with pine and calligraphy engraving by craftsman Wo You (卧游).
This teapot was exactly what I had been searching for: over 200 ml in capacity, a beautiful and less common traditional shape, and a clay with the deep, elegant color I had always wanted.
When it arrived, I was genuinely impressed. The craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The proportions, balance, lid fit, finish, and the way it feels in hand are all exceptional.
I would like to sincerely thank Zhu Shu for creating such a beautiful teapot. The quality of the workmanship is remarkable, and every detail reflects great skill and dedication. I am equally impressed by Wo You’s engraving. The pine and calligraphy are elegant, beautifully executed, and perfectly complement the shape of the teapot.
Finally, thank you to the entire RealZisha team. Your passion for authentic Yixing craftsmanship and the respect you show to the artisans behind each piece made this purchase truly special. This is a teapot I will treasure for many years, and I look forward to enjoying countless sessions of Wuyi oolong with it.
This teapot is so nice! Brews awesome tea!
It’s the first truly hand made teapot made of yixing clay that I bought.
The second I saw it I knew right away that I needed it. I was confused about the engraving (couldn’t translate it with any tool available), reached out to the RealZisha team directly - and how surprised I was when in several minutes I got a warm, precise, elaborate reply and conversation overall! They not only helped me with the translation, but also educated me on where the phrase came from, that it’s a Chinese handwriting, and many many more. Truly wholesome experience!
And the teapot itself - I’ve just finished drinking my Sheng from it. I had no idea the tea flavor might be so different depending on the teapot. The teapot is an absolute piece of art, with perfect pour, with perfect engraving, with perfect lid fit - there’s literally nothing I could possibly complain about.
I’m very grateful to the whole RealZisha team and especially to the masters Wang Hui (the craftsman) and Yi De (engraving). Thanks for so lovely first experience with yixing craftsmanship! 谢谢 🫶🏻🍵
