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.

Pan Hu is the Austere shape and model which all ZiSha collectors must have.

Pan Hu, exudes oriental charm shape, the curves of which are difficult to padde up just nicely, ever so cohesively, with the paddle and hand.

This Pan Hu has an added step and hurdle to overcome and which is the deftly crafted and significantly height-ed Quan Zu 圈足, the Circumferential Foot, to elevate it well up.

The A)roundish ~ tall-ish lid and B) high-ish Quan Zu, this Pan Hu exudes great oriental charm with simplicity, with a good stance, and a largish presence on your tea table for its small volume!

Skilful Artisan Zhao Xiao Wei crafted up this Pan Hu of thin-wall which is not easy to do right especially with the high (and oft-unpredictable results) shrinkage of XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi.

133.0ml to suit our tea sessions for one to two persons.

Remarkable craftsmanship and BenShan LuNi clay

I love this custom made BenShan LuNi teapot that was handcrafted by the Artist Zhang, Ke. I owe many BenShan LuNi clay teapots, this is by far one of the best BenShan LuNi I’ve ever seen. The craft skills are beatable. I highly recommend this artist.

Built like a tank

First time purchasing a bigger teapot. This one is for my daily morning brew of tea. Very thick and robust. The lid also stays in place when pouring making it easy to use without thinking it might fall and break.

Great Pot!

I’m becoming pleasantly acquainted with my new fang gu pot. It is a nice handmade pot and I’m looking forward to adding another to my collection in the near future.

A true work of art

I am delighted by this adorable pot. Communication with Ian has been excellent, shipping was fast and efficient.
At first, I was afraid of the 200 ml volume would make the piece too large or impractical to use other than as a mere statement piece, but the craftsmanship is so refined and well thought that I hardly notice the size anymore. It is very easy to use, and I now find the pot most adorable and not in the least intimidating.

Clay is superb, with a deep presence and a tactile feel but the precise design and high firing almost give the impression of holding a piece made of metal, both light and dense.

The clay carving is mesmerizing and I never get tired to gaze at it with all its minute details and subtle colours.

The brews I get are rich and thick ; the pot works very well with all kinds of tea, but even more convincingly with young sheng pu'erh.

Congratulation to master Li for her magnificent work and many thanks for providing us with the privilege of using such a great pot !

Teapot

This Teapot is absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for in everyday! Thank You so much for sourcing this artwork. Will be a lifelong piece for tea for years to come!
