The All time, Evergreen Ru Ding 乳鼎。Handsomely SCULPTED by our Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming. Thank you for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 thanks you dearest friends for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Enjoy his diligence, superb, classic handwork with this Jian Liu De Zhong, and let his work accompany you on your tea journey!

Explained, https://www.realzisha.com/blogs/news/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot. Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot. Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully. Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month. For ZiSha models/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well. Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too. Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect. We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and Craft.

A Treasured Heirloom

Many thanks to Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 and the team at RealZiSha for this perfectly adorable Ru Ding. This is my first fully-handmade pot and I could not be happier. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it is a wonderful vessel for brewing - the pour is very smooth, and the filter is great at catching stray leaves. The lid fit is perfect. Again, thank you Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 for this exquisite work, and to the entire RealZiSha! You are fighting the good fight and bringing the work of good and honest craftsmen and craftswomen to the entire world.

A Treasured Heirloom

Another great pot made of great clay

Again.. I’m so overwhelmed by the skill of the artisan. Lid fits tight, pour is strong and broad and fast. The clay is fantastic. It softens, but keeps the fresh notes of the tea. I own quite some Yixing by now, none of them master the skill or the effects of the clay as good as the 4 pots I bought here. Packaging is second to none. You can buy with full confidence. I can only recommend.

wauw.. my second pot i bought and again, what great craftmanship

sorry, i put up the wrong photo with this review and i can't seem to delete it. The photo elongs to another great pot i bought from them, the Hong Jiang po ni. sorry about that.

i really love the xisha form. It's one of my favourites. The pour is fast and full and doesn't get clogged by tea leaves. The form is evenly round, the bottom is sooo beautiful made. The lid fits perfectly and the sending ( to the Netherlands) was very fast and very good packaged against handled wildly by post.
I tried Tie Guan Yin in it and it made the teasoup round, full without dulling the high notes too much. I love this clay! I have 2 more pots coming in today from Realzisha. I think that gives away how much i like and trust this company.

wauw.. what craftmenship and excellent clay

i received the pot yesterday and after opening te pot for use, i tried Tie Gyan Yin oolong in it. It transformed the tea beautifully, in a soft , full and round teasoup. The lid fits excellent and no spilling! The pour is full and fast. The pot is so beautifully made i am sooo very happy with it. I can only recommend whole heartilly this company and its artisans. Friendly, honest, using very good clay, very good packaging and fast sending. Buy with confidence. ( i bought 4 pots already of them ;-) ).

Great quality - great customer service

Such a beautiful teapot!
Shipping ist extremely fast and the customer service ist amazing.
Can't recommend this shop enough.
