Commissioned work for Mr P.J.:
1) ZiSha work "Tian Gua 甜瓜" , targeted volume 90-100ml, made with Min Guo Lü Ni (comprising Cao Family's 100% Pure Ben Shan Lü Ni 本山绿泥) and to be crafted by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke 助理工艺美术师, 张轲。
This ZiSha work crafted by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, utilising Cao Family's very immaculate, rare and esteemed 100% BenShan LüNi (which even Huang Long Yuan 黄龙源 company is keeping for Grand Masters and not selling anymore). Precious and to be treasured for life.
After the commissioning project was received by Zhang Ke, and in view of the small volume requested by Patron Mr P.J., Zhang Ke has specially designed and crafted the handle to be more encompass more horizontal curves, so as to increase the aperture for the finger to go through and lift up the pot! The pot will still look proportional, with svelte parts and, proportional and cohesive overall!
Video and Paper certification for Mr P.J. for this commissioned work. Assoc Master Zhang Ke will address you and write your name in the Certificate, and after receipt of your pots, he will link up with you via Video Streamyard call to certify and chat with the patron, you, regarding this Work.
Congratulations to Mr P.J.! Assoc Master Zhang Ke thanks you for your kindest patronage and adoption of his Art and works.🎋
great size for solo use
This is my third teapot by Craftsman Zhu Shu, and her work continues to impress. The "Gao Qie Gua" is a masterpiece of form and proportion — the balance between its height and rounded body is aesthetically perfect. The Tai Xi Di Cao Qing clay is outstanding; it handles aged Sheng Pu-erh with great precision, refining the taste while maintaining its depth. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and Yi Cheng’s engraving completes the piece beautifully. A sophisticated tool for any serious tea session.
Amazing clay and amazing care in making the pot. 🙏🙇♂️
Very good water flow, after only 20 ish session I can already smell a bit of the fragrance in the heating water clearly, when waking up the teapot.
Came looking exactly as the pictures showed. Clay is very nice. I love the shape, and it’s got a very strong pour. I was amazed. No clogging issues. The lid fit is perfect.
