"Ming Yuan Song Duan" 《鸣远松段》, 300ml, by YiXing's Top Ornate Class Artist & Prodigy L4 Assoc Master Zhang Xue Lei 张雪磊, 助理工艺美术师。~ Commissioned by Prof P.G., Professor of The Arts, teaching 2 decades at Tokyo University & working for two British museums.
Assoc Master Zhang Xue Lei took six weeks to complete this commissioned work for Prof G. from Wales, not taking account the other two to four weeks for failed specimens during crafting. 300ml.
Assoc Master Zhang chose for this application, Lao Duan Ni for crafting.
Perfection and Flair, Detail and Grit, all rolled into one.
For your information, Zhang Xue Lei does not craft Austere works for sale. If you Google and trawl the net, and find Austere/Polygonal/Segmental-Corollary pots "made by Zhang Xue Lei" sold by other retailers, they are all false. Even if these pots bear "his stamp", avoid. They are all duds (jigger-machined pots stamped with Counterfeit Stamps). And such stamps and certificates from these retailers are faked. Such Chinese sites (bogus retaielrs) are ubiquitous. If they are prevalent in China, imagine all the cookie-cut sites in English made to dupe the Westerners. With AI, such sites can be drafted up really fast, and many retailers cookie-cut and paste photos from Taobao, where they get their source jigger-machined pots from.
Again, we reiterate, Zhang Xue Lei does not craft such Austere/Polygonal/Segmental-Corollary pots for sale. He only crafts Ornate Class works, and he only avails them with us at RealZiSha.
