Fully-Handmade, by our collaborative Craftsman Xu Bing 许冰, utilising Lao Zi Ni 老紫泥, size/volume of 260ml.

This pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks in 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. During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftladies and Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these 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 cheating Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.
Again, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, roughly horizontal lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen "Workbench Lines/Marks" 😊🌿🎋

Thanks again for these wonderful treasures!
This Shi Piao is an excellent example of utility object, teapot, turned an art. While it retains all functionality - very tight lid fit, great clay, nice water flow - it is also just beautiful. The shape is feminime with gentle sculping of branches with flowers. I am very happy with this pot.
