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.
Really impressed by this 87ml piece. Outstanding craftsmanship by Fan Xiao Zhi — classic Xi Shi lines, tight lid fit, and a strong, smooth pour. The granular texture of this Zhu Sha clay is beautiful in person. Very happy to add this one to my table!
Distinctive and very well-made Xi Shi. The "puffer fish" spout gives it a great character, and the pour is strong and clean. Excellent work by Master Gu Xiao Ming, and the Di Cao Qing clay has a very nice, deep texture.
Really loving this 85ml Jing Le. Fantastic detail work by Master Wang Xing, smooth pour, and top-quality Zhu Ni clay. Another great addition to my tea table!
Highly impressive work. The shape, the lid fit, and the water pour are all spot on. Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni is a remarkable clay that really highlights the high notes of light oolongs and shens. Master Shi Yun did a wonderful job on this Ai De Zhong. Thanks again for another great piece!
Very nice and usable teapot, fully handmade and pouring is excelletn
