Craftsman Gu's two teapots, this and a DiCaoQing Xishi, are my first Yixing teapots and I could not be happier with them. They are a delight to hold, use, and admire. The effect on the tea, even in a blind taste test, is remarkable, bringing out the best in every pu-erh I've enjoyed with them, by myself or with friends and family. The whole team at Realzisha has been so sweet, responsive, and understanding, and my next teapot will definitely be from them as well. Thank you, everyone!!
Craftsman Chen Fa Chu knocked it out of the park with this one. I simply adore this little teapot. Before and after drinking tea I find myself just gazing at it and wondering how a person could craft such a pristine vessel. I consider myself very fortunate to grab this teapot. Could not recommend craftsman Chen Fa Chu’s work more.
Not only did I receive the kindest and attentive support when the Teapot's delivery was delayed, when the Teapot diligently arrived I was shocked at how immaculate the quality of its craftsmanship was. The fine teaware sold on RealZisha truly is a league of its own, I have never known such beautiful handmade ceramics of this caliber before and nothing would compare to seeing it in person. The design of the "Yun Lu - Heavenly Cauldron" is so touching and expressive in its swooping curves and gentle shape, I am so moved to say it might be my favorite teapot I've ever had the opportunity to possess. Truly a treasure.
The teapot arrived much earlier than I expected. It looked clearly handmade. The lid had a very tight fit: when I held the hole on top closed with my finger, no tea would come out. I love my teapot and use it every day--thank you!
Craftsmanship and materials are both top notch. Using it daily for 30 days now; weight, pouring, heat retention are all great.
