Chosen by Senior Masters Lu Xu Feng and Cao Lan Fang again, this is an immensely sleek and svelte looking Niu Gai Lian Zi, tasking Craftsman Zhang Huan to perform for all of you dearest ZiSha friends :-D !!!

The lid is a staggering work of Art.

Most Niu Gai Lian Zi's lids are either made:
1.  taller,
and/or,
2.  with a steeper, higher-raked angle starting from the rim rising up faster to the top, reaching the top plateau faster.

However, here is the staggering form, executed to PERFECTION by Zhang Huan.

It has the most gradual rake, and indeed, curving in a perfect ARCH, as part of a sector of an imaginary big circle.
Not just that, this curve is repeated EVENLY from ALL side angles!
Zhang Huan spent many hours doing the Shang Ming Zhen 上明针 stage for this lid top to achieve perfection.

This curved mini-architecture is amazing: if you hold the lid up and look UNDERNEATH each of the two curved "pillar" sides, you will notice the hollow "cave" reaches horizontally deep all the way to the inner edge, meaning Zhang Huan did not play cheat to prop up the two pillar sides with additional clay!  This comes at great expense of expertise, persistence to the core of Fully-Handmade Craftsmanship, and Zhang Huan says he is stubborn on this, so that the lid will NOT bogged down by extra weight:
The result presented to you the patron, being,
The Lid looks svelte, and holds up light and refreshing as well!
Kudos to Zhang Huan!

Very lovingly built in, are TWO evenly matched and symmetrical circular openings.
Fully-Handmade ZiSha will never be perfect, but Zhang Huan amazes us with his execution!  Arch, curve, finesse, symmetry.

During crafting: Settling down this slice of svelte and slim curved piece onto the lid, and joining them into one whole piece of lid, is gruelling enough.

Yet Zhang Huan accomplishes all with deftness, extreme care and finesse.

Dear Friends, just like a crane lowering a delicate crown onto the foundation, the setting of the piece of arched ZiSha slab onto the lid, is extremely difficult.  This arch piece is wide, gently raked unlike a higher-domed structure, and being ZiSha delicate and tender.

It is just bewildering that this can be executed.

Any mistake or unnecessary pressure, will distort this piece, and he has to redo it with ANOTHER arch structure.

His savoir-faire amazes and sometimes even dumbfounds us, who always believed in him!

~~~
The arch and curve of the lid's top, if you look and examine carefully, actually joins the convexity of the main body's shoulder curve!:
The overall result is that, with this Tian Ya Di Gai  lid-to-body interface, the lid adorably looks being popped up by the two rims.
:-D exceedingly cute, gratifying, satisfying and COMFORTABLE to the eyes.
A long-lasting shape that will never go out of style.

~~~~~~
Topping it up, is the choice of the choice of our special Tai Xi Zi Ni!
Senior Master Cao and Senior Master Lu Xue Feng chose this special Tai Xi Zi Ni for Zhang Huan to craft this beautiful Ji Zhi ZiSha work.

Tai Xi Zi Ni, is the peculiar clay that is mined from the already collapsed and sealed Quarry site, the Tai Xi quarry.  The Quarry Pit is named Tai Xi Kuang 台西矿。It is an extinct clay per se.  Whatever is left in our inventory, will never be renewed.

Our Tai Xi Zi Ni, not just being authentic, is sold to true connoisseurs at this affordable price, we never jack up.  Dear Friends, this is superb quality Tai Xi Zi Ni.  Do procure at least one!  Make it a happy camper and showpiece on your tea table serving two to three pax :-D even more so as the 载体 Zai Ti of the Tai Xi Zi Ni, is this staggeringly built and brilliantly crafted Niu Gai Lian Zi.  We all thank Zhang Huan and cherish him to bits!  Thank you Zhang Huan!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Craftsman Zhang Huan 张欢, since young, has embarked on his journey of crafting Austere ZiSha works of HIGH QUALITY.  He had been noticed and hand-picked by Senior Cao Lan Fang and Senior Master Lu Xue Feng over observation of the past decade, and they have taken him in as their very hardworking disciple and CORE COLLEAGUE.


After three years of perfecting further his already polished skills, his works have consistently been given more than a nod by our Artists, be it Senior Master Lu Xue Feng, Senior Master Cao Lan Fang, Assoc Master Yang Quan Sheng, Assoc Master Li Yan Ru, Assoc Master Du Cheng Yao.  Craftsman Zhang is NOW proudly one of us and he will be featuring consistently, and he also works closely with Yi Xiao Ran (featured in our home page video) and also Chen Fa Chu (together both being the longest serving Craftsmen with us).  Craftsman Zhang Huan is naturally gifted, and extremely dedicated to perfecting his Art.  His works have been noticed and appraised highly.  The lines and detailing of his pots are unmatched for their prices.  His lines and detailing speak of his EXTREME CARE AND TIME taken to craft each part, each pot.  The lines and detailing speak of his fighting through his years from very challenging family conditions since young.

Only a very well-trained, experienced and skilful Craftsman will be able to understand the curves and proportions perfectly, and here beautifully captured and crafted by Craftsman Zhang Huan.

Craftsman Zhao's works are highly scrutinised by our Senior Masters, and deemed to be ready for you, delectable for your use and a long lasting permanent ZiSha work in your collection.
~~~
Cherish it as they do not come easy, with the firing kiln enabling only a 70% success rate, i.e. fire 3, and two will be successful.  This is SPECIALLY crafted for all of you friends at ~190ml to suit anything between a single to three persons' tea session!

~~~~~~~~~~
Again, another tremendous labor of love by our trusted and committed collaborative Craftsman Zhang Huan.  It is a team effort and we thank you dearest Friends for your grandest support to the honest and the dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen here left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Zhang Huan works with Senior Master Cao Lan Fang in her studio and all works are AMAZING high performance and high value.  Take one home fast and savour his formidable, archetypically ZiSha classic craft and let his work accompany you on your tea journey!  
Craftsman Zhang thanks you for your kindest support of his Work and adopting his work on your tea table while you steep teas for yourself and your family and Friends! Thank you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold one, hold up one, swing his work around.  Carefully examine his Fully-Handmade work.  Look at it from afar, from near, and it will grow on you.  The whole piece grow on you because 1) he takes reference from what the Senior Masters chose for him, 2) and he amazingly crafts them up EXACTLY as to what the Senior Masters want from him: extreme fine detailing with MUCH THOUGHT on each part, with MUCH TIME spent on every part, section.  Because this is what Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art should be, and HOW FULLY-HANDMADE ZISHA ART is so different from and light years ahead of the ubiquitous jigger-machined pots and half-handmade pots masquerading under the sales tagline of "fully-handmade zisha" pots.  These latter JM/HHM pots are made in what we call 流水线 a.k.a. 'Factory-Line operation' whereby the main pot body after being jigger-machined or coming off from the mould, is passed to the next worker who fits on the spout, and subsequently this second worker will pass the pot on to another worker who will in turn fit on the handle.  Continuing so, the pressed lid is likewise passed to another worker who fit on the lid knob.  EACH WORKER has NO IDEA what the other one is doing, and they are always working on fixed time lines stated by the boss.  For example, the worker being "passed the baton" a pot with the spout just fixed onto the body by his colleague, will only focus on fixing on the handle, with nil to little regard to WHETHER THE HANDLE fixed on will be cohesive with the spout.  Each worker has NO idea of HOW THE FINAL POT WILL LOOK LIKE.  Beyond poor craftsmanship and clay, the result of such processes are ugly pots with poor cohesiveness which experienced Artists, Craftsmen and collectors will tell from a metre away.  Experienced people in us, do not need to pick up a pot to check whether it is fully-handmade or made of zisha, we can tell from a metre away just by looking at the pot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The keywords are: Detailing and Cohesiveness.

A GOOD Fully-Handmade ZiSha Work combines great detailing and cohesiveness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our Senior Masters have given Craftsman Zhang Huan the full blessings with all of us.  He is fully-fledged at RealZiSha.  Most important, after all the hard work,
We are very happy that he is now with all of you.

Presenting Zhang Huan and his hard-worked and fine-worked Pieces for you.  One by one.

~~~~~~~~~~
Also to be cherished and witnessed in this ZiSha Work, you : besides the usual important, critical and beautiful hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot, this pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks evident on 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 Zhang Huan; During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsladies and Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these cutting strokes will 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 fake, those Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC continuous circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.

Take note that these Ni Deng Wen lines are CONVEX AND PROTRUDING OUTWARDS from the flat clay slab wall, not marked inwards.  They protrude *out* due to them being complementary to the worn and cut *in* lines on the wooden bench the Craftsman is working on.

Therefore, 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" 🌿👐🎋
