This is Chen Fa Chu's brand new shape, the Xian Piao.
Here he took extreme time to SLOWLY craft the protruding lines AROUND the lid knob, and the main handle. Xian Piao also combines these detailed and functional lines, with the wholesome beauty of Jing Zhou Shi Piao: the body girth and width, beautifully coaxed and crafted curved body side wall CONTINUING with the delectable slight convex curved base! The "Wei Qi" Zi chess piece motif-ed three feet. The strong pour of the Shi Piao with its signature spout design, a constant with all Chen Fa Chu's Shi Piaos.
He uses, of course, his great quality DiCaoQing from Huang Long Shan as with all his pots. Also, savor the beautiful patina formation and changes as you steep tea with all his ZiSha works.
Excellent ergonomics:
Holding, handling and lifting the lid knob is a breeze, Decisive grip and ample distance from the hot vapors arising from the ventilating hole



Excellent GRIP on the handle. A breeze to use.
Decisive, easy and quick grip and lift off of pot. Grip interface supremely heightened between thumb-and-index finger, plus grip between index finger-and-middle finger. A breeze to use.



Beautiful pot, fantastic workmanship. Better than I expected. The pictures don't do it justice.

I have been hoping that a dark purple zini han wa would make its way into my tea set. This pot is more beautiful than I expected. The colour of the zini clay is amazing and the craftmanship is every bit as would be expected given its lineage.
I am most happy and appreciative. Thank you.
Gorgeous pot, so expertly crafted, with magical effect on tea. I’m in awe!
I am delighted with my new teapot from realzisha. It is well made, elegant and the perfect size. I am looking forward to using it often.
After spending months searching through Facebook Marketplace and other online marketplaces, I realized how difficult it is to find an authentic Yixing teapot. Most listings were either obvious replicas, had questionable descriptions, or simply weren’t what I was looking for.
In the end, I decided to order from RealZisha, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
I purchased the Qing Shi Li Mao Hu (清式笠帽壶), 214.9 ml, made from Tai Xi Lao Zi Ni (台西老紫泥), handcrafted by craftsman Zhu Shu (朱舒), with pine and calligraphy engraving by craftsman Wo You (卧游).
This teapot was exactly what I had been searching for: over 200 ml in capacity, a beautiful and less common traditional shape, and a clay with the deep, elegant color I had always wanted.
When it arrived, I was genuinely impressed. The craftsmanship exceeded my expectations. The proportions, balance, lid fit, finish, and the way it feels in hand are all exceptional.
I would like to sincerely thank Zhu Shu for creating such a beautiful teapot. The quality of the workmanship is remarkable, and every detail reflects great skill and dedication. I am equally impressed by Wo You’s engraving. The pine and calligraphy are elegant, beautifully executed, and perfectly complement the shape of the teapot.
Finally, thank you to the entire RealZisha team. Your passion for authentic Yixing craftsmanship and the respect you show to the artisans behind each piece made this purchase truly special. This is a teapot I will treasure for many years, and I look forward to enjoying countless sessions of Wuyi oolong with it.
This teapot is so nice! Brews awesome tea!
