Wang Xing's skills are brilliant.
His mastery of the overall shape is here for us to savour.
The Xing Ti 形体, is just superb.
From the photographs, we admire and easily appreciate his amazing Craftsmanship.
This is working with XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi, one with even higher shrinkage than ZiNi and DuanNi, and thus a lot more deformities that CAN arise easily during firing.
We bear witness to dear Wang Xing's skills.

TRULY FULLY-HANDMADE AND DELICATELY MADE.

NOT those thick-/irregular-thickness-walled ones which are actually fake "Fully-handmade ZhuNi pots" utilising the cheating new technology: "车一刀 Che Yi Dao": Such ZhuNi pots utilizing Che Yi Dao process, have been sprouting up in the market since early 2022. Che Yi Dao involves a swivelling-rotational cutter that goes around a roughly-finished ZhuNi pot to cut the outer surface into a perfect shape. This cutter obliviates the need of accomplished skill of a true Fully-Handmaking Craftsman. Obviously, Che Yi Dao also absolves the need of a skilled FHM Craftsman to 1)pound the slab into a careful thin-slab, 2)paddle-pat the slab into a uniform shape purely manually.

In the utilisation of Che Yi Dao cutter, the worker will just need to 1) roughly pound the slab into a slightly thicker slab. After that the worker rounds up this slab as part of the main body, and will just 2)need to ROUGHLY paddle-pat it into shape. After which he sets up the Che Yi Dao cutter to revolve and cut the body into a perfect shape.

Li Xing 梨形 is one of the most lovely Austere shapes which XiaoMeiYao is made into! A highly limited run here as well as our recent Fang Gu, Xi Shi, Pan Hu, Ming Lu, Shui Ping and JingZhou ShiPiao models. We hope you friends have loved all of them!

Li Xing 梨形 exudes the Aura of Chinese Orientalism, 2)for a narrowing top ZiSha model, it has a wider opening than Si Ting for better ease of introducing tea leaves and washing after steeping, 3)has a sharp-ish spout for decisive cutting of flow, and 4)has a slightly raised lid that stores a column of air above the tea water level when the lid is closed, so that during the initial first moment of pour with that few degrees of tilt, tea water flows out decisively and easily right from the start.

Crafted at ~180ml to cater for our tea friends who want a small ZhuNi pot for Gung Fu tea steepings, and suitable for one to two persons.

Steep tea with his Craft, Friends!

Savour his superb skills, dearest Friends!

Cute little shi piao

Another great achievement from the studios of the Realzisha potters. I like how the basic design is transcended by the delicacy of the craftsmanship. A fast pourer, this little pot is flawless and one can truly appreciate the delicacy of the details (the lid's inner rim, the handle, the end of the spout...). The color of clay has a lot of character and depth and is both smooth and textured to the touch. Once again, I am very pleased with this seemingly unassuming but actually spectacular teaware. Congrats to the artist !

Most elegant Shui Ping

It is the first Shui Ping I bought : this classic austere shape always seemed to me a bit plain, but this piece is a fine example of why its appeal can be so strong. The details (the spout, the handle, the lid) are very refined and it gives a slender profile to the pot, enhancing the experience, along with the cristal like chime given by the firing. The pour is great and precise and it is a very handy tea ware to use. The clay works great with my dancongs. Many thanks !

Wonderful Han Wa

I am very pleased with this pot : its apparent sturdiness is deceiving because when you handle it, it looks and feels light, elegant, refined. The firing is excellent, with the clay producing a high pitched chime, which adds to the pleasure of the experience. Most of all, it brews great tea with young and semi-aged pu-erh. I feel fortunate to have gotten one of the few models made with the cute Tai Hu Shi knob. Many thanks and congratulations to Chen Gui Zhi for her masterful work !

Incredible!

Not only does it look beautiful, it feels beautiful in the hand, and brews some incredible tea. I’m sure this will be the first of many pots I purchase from this store, 100% worth the price.

So beautiful!

I'm stunned by the beauty of this pot and honored to have and use it! The craftsmanship is amazing and the clay is fantastic! Highly recommend!
