Video and Paper Certification with Associate Master Artist Zhang Xue Lei, 助理工艺美术师 - 张雪磊 for every Artwork of his procured.
For your information, Zhang Xue Lei does not craft Austere works for sale. If you Google and trawl the net, and find Austere/Polygonal/Segmental-Corollary pots "made by Zhang Xue Lei" sold by other retailers, they are all false. Even if these pots bear "his stamp", avoid. They are all duds (jigger-machined pots stamped with Counterfeit Stamps). And such stamps and certificates from these retailers are faked. Such Chinese sites (bogus retaielrs) are ubiquitous. If they are prevalent in China, imagine all the cookie-cut sites in English made to dupe the Westerners. With AI, such sites can be drafted up really fast, and many retailers cookie-cut and paste photos from Taobao, where they get their source jigger-machined pots from.
Amazing quality and well made for good price. Fit of the lid is perfect, and it will not dall off from tilting to pour tea
Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming's work with this piece is incredible. I am so thankful to have a piece as well made as this in such a small size for my expensive teas.
I'm very happy with this purchase, the clay is good and really have a softening effect on sheng puher. The craftsmanship is excellent and the communication and advice from the seller were very useful. Thank you!
Stunning teapot. The pictures don't do it justice. I'm pleased to have been allowed to add it to my collection.
