Congratulations to an esteemed collector from North Wales.
This is sold to him on the 26th March 2022.
I was delighted when I received this pot from Jeff and Ian of REALZISHA.COM! It was beautifully packed and arrived safely all the way from Singapore to the UK in a matter of days.
The pot, called Fāng Yù, is everything I was hoping it would be. It is a work by the Level 2A master, Lù Xué Fēng, the clay is qīng duàn (a lovely olive green duànní that has attractive yellow speckles all over it), and the capacity is 330 ml. From a functional point of view, the pot is a pleasure to use: it pours beautifully and the lid fits absolutely perfectly. The handle is also very comfortable to hold. Having said that, all of these things are only to be expected from such a consummate master. What really stood out to me the instant I saw the pot, however, was how it looked aesthetically. In my opinion, it has perfect balance and proportion, and there is a certain archaic nobility to its form. It is this that raises the pot above mere function. For me, this is a work of great artistic design.
It is entirely thanks to Ian and Jeff that such works by Master Lù and others are made available to people in the west. Not only do they offer direct access to recognised, accredited artists, they also offer unlimited knowledge and guidance which they provide with great kindness and generosity. I have complete trust in REALZISHA.COM and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone interested in this art form.

Gorgeous pot, so expertly crafted, with magical effect on tea. I’m in awe!
I am delighted with my new teapot from realzisha. It is well made, elegant and the perfect size. I am looking forward to using it often.
After spending months searching through Facebook Marketplace and other online marketplaces, I realized how difficult it is to find an authentic Yixing teapot. Most listings were either obvious replicas, had questionable descriptions, or simply weren’t what I was looking for.
In the end, I decided to order from RealZisha, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I purchased the Qing Shi Li Mao Hu (清式笠帽壶), 214.9 ml, made from Tai Xi Lao Zi Ni (台西老紫泥), handcrafted by craftsman Zhu Shu (朱舒), with pine and calligraphy engraving by craftsman Wo You (卧游).
This teapot was exactly what I had been searching for: over 200 ml in capacity, a beautiful and less common traditional shape, and a clay with the deep, elegant color I had always wanted.
When it arrived, I was genuinely impressed. The craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The proportions, balance, lid fit, finish, and the way it feels in hand are all exceptional.
I would like to sincerely thank Zhu Shu for creating such a beautiful teapot. The quality of the workmanship is remarkable, and every detail reflects great skill and dedication. I am equally impressed by Wo You’s engraving. The pine and calligraphy are elegant, beautifully executed, and perfectly complement the shape of the teapot.
Finally, thank you to the entire RealZisha team. Your passion for authentic Yixing craftsmanship and the respect you show to the artisans behind each piece made this purchase truly special. This is a teapot I will treasure for many years, and I look forward to enjoying countless sessions of Wuyi oolong with it.
This teapot is so nice! Brews awesome tea!
It’s the first truly hand made teapot made of yixing clay that I bought.
The second I saw it I knew right away that I needed it. I was confused about the engraving (couldn’t translate it with any tool available), reached out to the RealZisha team directly - and how surprised I was when in several minutes I got a warm, precise, elaborate reply and conversation overall! They not only helped me with the translation, but also educated me on where the phrase came from, that it’s a Chinese handwriting, and many many more. Truly wholesome experience!
And the teapot itself - I’ve just finished drinking my Sheng from it. I had no idea the tea flavor might be so different depending on the teapot. The teapot is an absolute piece of art, with perfect pour, with perfect engraving, with perfect lid fit - there’s literally nothing I could possibly complain about.
I’m very grateful to the whole RealZisha team and especially to the masters Wang Hui (the craftsman) and Yi De (engraving). Thanks for so lovely first experience with yixing craftsmanship! 谢谢 🫶🏻🍵
