Dearest Friends, we present our new collaborative Craftsman, Wang Jian Long, and we asked him to do his best for you friends.
This is what we had discussed and specially arranged with him.
Wang Jian Long succeeded to impress us.
This is a very excellent Yi Li Zhu! Very beautifully formed.
1. Looking at the absolutely natural-flowing, silhouetted spout, we know it came with lots of effort and experience.
2. The lid is of the difficult Qian-Gai interface, whereby the lid sits INSET into the top surface of the pot.
3. The overall organic form and PERFECT proportions of this lovely and beautiful Yi Li Zhu.
Appreciate and cherish this latest collaborative hard work and successful pot out from the kiln. We welcome our new and invited collaborative Craftsman Wang Jian Long. We thank him and he too is very glad to be with us.

This pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks in 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 Wang Jian Long!!!🙇♂️🤗🎋 During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsman will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these 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 a well-worn workbench which bear these cut-in marks, these marks will be etched complementarily onto the clay slab! Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot. (For example, a partially handmade pot will not show these marks). And for those Jigger-machined pots, what they manifest are CONCENTRIC, continuous circular lines, all parallel to one another.
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!
