De Zhong 德钟 (Quan Niu 圈扭德钟), 150.9ml, Hong (Red) Jiang Po Ni 红降坡泥 rarer than Huang (Yellow) Jiang Po Ni, by Craftsman Wan Jia Lin 万佳琳。

Craftsman Wan Jia Lin 万佳琳 also joins us at RealZisha, with her introduction of this Red Jiang Po Ni Work!  We are happy to work with her.  She is also Craftsman Chen Fa Chu's friend and we are growing in strength.   She will be working hard on great ZiSha works for all of us to own and savour.  This is her very beautifully crafted Gong Deng for you.  Only one piece.

Here, she applied this time the rarer Red Jiang Po Ni on this Ming Shi Gong Deng work.

Also to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you observe: besides the usual important, critical and beautiful hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot, this pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks evident on the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks left on the clay slab, complementary to the marks on the workbench of the Craftsman Wan.  During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftladies and Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these cutting strokes will leave marks on the studio workbench.  Especially the first major forceful cut across the table to delineate the clay she/he wants to utilize to form the main body of the body.  Thus when the craftsman subsequently pound the clay slab on the workbench, these marks will be etched onto the clay slab.  Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot.  Even a partially handmade pot will not show these marks.  And those fake, those Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC continuous circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.
