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.
I would like to say thank you to Yi-Lei and Ian for making my delivery smooth and worry-free. This Shui Ping is exactly as described on the website, so of course, hats off to Craftsman Li Qui Lin for this beautifully made teapot.
My wife and I will definitely buy more from RealZisha.
I just received this stunning teapot, and the craftsmanship is flawless.
The clay has such a rich, warm tone and a gorgeous natural texture that I already know is going to season beautifully over time. The lines of the classic Rong Tian shape are perfectly balanced—it feels substantial yet completely natural and comfortable in the hand. The lid fit is seamless, and the pour is remarkably smooth and steady.
It's a perfect blend of tradition and functional artistry, and I can't wait to see how the clay evolves with every session.
Well made teapot with good real zisha material.
Very good response from the seller.
Thank you...really satisfied with this Le Rong teapot
