De Zhong 德钟 (Xiao De Zhong 小德钟) ~ "Small De Zhong", 94.9ml, special, by Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明, Di Cao Qing Zi Ni 底槽青紫泥。
This is the Small and Cute little De Zhong, carefully sculpted and crafted this time again by our skilful Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming again! Working from the Standard Classic De Zhong, Craftsman Gu WISELY created this SMALL De Zhong! "麻雀虽小, 五脏俱全。! Yes again, with all parts, every part, crafted and sculpted! He sculpted it to be slightly more tallish than wide, just slightly, but played a very delightful input to allow it now to appear too slim: Notice the 天压地盖 "Heaven Pressing On Earth" style lid, which he purposely designed it wider by a good 1.5mm, so that as to bring the girth of the upper dome wider, to construct the illusion to the eye, allowing this smallish De Zhong to be small volume, cute and delectable, yet "wide". Again, a small but stylish, svelte and handsome De Zhong, never leaving the classic De Zhong theme. Wise Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming! :-D
He thanks you dearest friends for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

(Dear Friends, during the photo-taking process, five to six separate spotlights above and around, are used. Looking at the photos, the collar-rim of the lid-body interface thus shows the various spotlights' reflection. You will therefore see 2 to 3 scattered brighter spots around the collar-rim. This will allay concerns from some friends, "is the rim-collar having any irregularity in circularity?". This explanation of the usage of five to six overhead spotlights around, will allay this concern. Yes, the rim-collars of all these ZiSha works crafted by our Craftsmen ARE REGULAR in CIRCULARITY :-D, and you can rest assured. Thank you Friends.)
