Another great achievement from the studios of the Realzisha potters. I like how the basic design is transcended by the delicacy of the craftsmanship. A fast pourer, this little pot is flawless and one can truly appreciate the delicacy of the details (the lid's inner rim, the handle, the end of the spout...). The color of clay has a lot of character and depth and is both smooth and textured to the touch. Once again, I am very pleased with this seemingly unassuming but actually spectacular teaware. Congrats to the artist !
It is the first Shui Ping I bought : this classic austere shape always seemed to me a bit plain, but this piece is a fine example of why its appeal can be so strong. The details (the spout, the handle, the lid) are very refined and it gives a slender profile to the pot, enhancing the experience, along with the cristal like chime given by the firing. The pour is great and precise and it is a very handy tea ware to use. The clay works great with my dancongs. Many thanks !
I am very pleased with this pot : its apparent sturdiness is deceiving because when you handle it, it looks and feels light, elegant, refined. The firing is excellent, with the clay producing a high pitched chime, which adds to the pleasure of the experience. Most of all, it brews great tea with young and semi-aged pu-erh. I feel fortunate to have gotten one of the few models made with the cute Tai Hu Shi knob. Many thanks and congratulations to Chen Gui Zhi for her masterful work !
Not only does it look beautiful, it feels beautiful in the hand, and brews some incredible tea. I’m sure this will be the first of many pots I purchase from this store, 100% worth the price.
I'm stunned by the beauty of this pot and honored to have and use it! The craftsmanship is amazing and the clay is fantastic! Highly recommend!
