Tie Sha Zhu Ni 铁砂朱泥 is a Yuan Kuan type, i.e. unadulterated and original ZhuNi type.
It is not a type of mixed clay. It is an adulterated ZhuNi material PICKED AT SITE.
Read on.
Usually,
1) Ore pickers will pick at site but avoid: ZhuNi ores that appear to have too obviously high IRON content,
2) and/or after picking, they will try to select out parts high in iron content to be omitted during the ore processing into bricks of clay and subsequently for pot making.
Such avoidance of working with ZhuNi with too high iron content is because, ZhuNi with too high iron content will be DIFFICULT to work with. Such high iron content clay is not sticky and very difficult to form up into a pot.
However, for Tie Sha Zhu Ni, only certain few families of Artisans in YiXing: they will specially AND purposely pick at site: ZhuNi ores that have obviously HIGH IRON content.,
AND these families of Artisans know how to work with and form up pots with them.
Zhu Jie is the Craftsman whom we trust and also, adept at crafting with Tie Sha Zhu Ni 铁砂朱泥。
Tie Sha Zhu Ni pots are treasured because they are amazing in steeping and brewing up Oolong teas, High Fragrance teas and Dark Pu-Er tea types.
You can see the high iron content by virtue of the multiple black dots as visible throughout the surfaces of this pot.
Not easy to wait for one to appear. Please cherish it.
The cup is not only aesthetically beautiful but also extremely functional. Master Li thoughtfully high fired the zini clay, resulting in higher vitrification and therefore much less flavor crossover when using the cup across different types of teas. She is a wonderful and valuable member of the Realzisha team, and I look forward to seeing how she furthers her artistic direction over the years! 🌻🫖🍵
Fantastic!
What an original pot! I was very lucky to come back from my vacation and find a beautifully crafted box with the ZhuNi inside waiting for me! The craftmanship is great and the seller was so kind as to include a 5 Chinese Yuan Banknote which made me cry. The paper certificate was also included. Thank you!
This Zisha Ming Lu is so amazingly beautiful. The finish , balance , attention to detail and craftsmanship is outstanding. I have looked at the many pots from Craftsman Wang Xing and have noticed how all his pieces seem to standout exhibiting exceptional balance and refinement. A joy to use and behold . Thankyou Wang Xing ...
This pot is amazing in the experience it gives. The sounds, reveberations of perfection, the sensations, bright and alert. The vital qualities of my brews are much empowered by this magic little pot.
