This is a very special pot, made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke.
Master Zhang Ke is under the direct high tutelage of National Grand Master of Ceramic Arts and also the next-in-line National Grand Master of The Arts, Chen Guo Liang.
Grand Master Chen Guo Liang 陈国良, 国家陶瓷艺术大师 is the ZiSha's fraternity Master and Authority on Thin-Walled Technique on making ZiSha pots. He is the Number One. He is also one of the remaining two Grand Masters and authority for Ornate pots (with all due respect and after the passing of Grand Master Jiang Rong).
This is not just made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, this is made from rare and esteemed BenShan LüNi, and of amazing thin-walled technique. And this pot came out of the kiln intact and perfect. This is ALSO a Shui Ping Pot, and this floats balanced on water. Precious and to be treasured for life.
Outstanding pot.
Video and Paper certification.
Yepp! That's me (and that's the pot that really does float on water - I've tried it). Honestly the shabby background of my room isn't doing the aesthetics of this pot any justice. But nonetheless it is one beautiful piece of practical art. Made from a virtually extinct type of Zisha clay, it steeps up wonderful white, green and lightly roasted TGYs. And since it is extremely thin-walled, it doesn't scorch those delicate tea leaves.
Thanks Ian for letting this pot catch my eye.

I'm a big fan of black teas and this pot is great for me and 4 friends just to sit down at night drinking black tea.
The clay of the pot feels fantastic I find it easy to clean and I'm in love with the box's that theses pot come in.
This is my first pot made from zisha clay and it feels worth the price.
Been hunting this site for months for a small Xi Shi in this particular clay. Absolutely impeccable craftmanship, couldn't be happier!
