fraternity, born of the legendary Gu Jing Zhou's genius design mind, and Craftsman Chen Yu embarked upon creating and crafting the smallest Jing Zhou Shi Piao amenable for most tea people's practice in modern times.  Keeping the same pretty side silhouette as the prettiest Jing Zhou Shi Piaos known (but often crafted beyond 220ml), our uncle Cao An Xiang advised for a mild lowering (-1mm) of the upper brim\/water level line, so that the lid that caps out on top, will be afforded a bigger gap (+1mm) between the ventilation hole below and the top of thd lid kob.  This is very important because it creates more space for the Tea Master to grip on the lid knob.\u003cbr\u003eThank you for Craftsmen Chen Yu for painstakingly mastering this difficult shape, that is the Jing Zhou Shi Piao, making that slight 1mm modification and thereby created this very lovable small volume Jing Zhou Shi Piao!  A must-have classic, with engraving of Plum Blossoms and Poem,  the hard work and creating this smallest Jing Zhou Shi Piao for all!\u003cbr\u003eSavour this 180ml small volume Jing Zhou Shi Piao!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg
