150ml.

Delicately made (not thick-walled).

Xi Shi is the Austere shape and model which all ZiSha collectors must have.

Xi Shi, is a spherical shape which is extremely difficult to get right just with the paddle and hand. That is why we cherish Fully-Handmade Xi Shi so much.

Skilful Artisan Zhao Xiao Wei crafted up this Xi Shi of thin-wall which is not easy to do right especially with the high (and oft-unpredictable results) shrinkage of XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi AND done on a round-ish, spherical shape that is the quintessential Xi Shi.

Also, crafted to be 150ml to suit our tea sessions for one to two persons.

Top quality, handmade teapots and exceptional customer service

If you are on the fence about buying, take my word for it and buy a teapot. They are meticulously crafted to perfection and backed by some of the best and quickest customer service. They ship extremely quickly too despite being international. I have two of their teapots right now and I check the site regularly to see if anything new I like pops up. Overall great experience and trustworthy vendors in a confusing world of fakes and factory made teapots. Love them!

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship – Elevating My Tea Ritual

I’ve just received my ZiSha teapot from RealZiSha, and it’s absolutely amazing! Coming from Vietnamese tea culture, I know this pot will elevate my tea experience. The craftsmanship is beautiful, well-balanced, and feels perfect in hand.

A huge thank you to Ian, Yi-Lei, and the RealZiSha team for this incredible piece, and a special thanks to Chen Hua Jun, the talented craftsman behind this beautiful teapot. Your dedication to authentic artistry truly shines through. I can't wait to see how it enhances the flavour of my tea over time.

My first fully handmade zisha pot.

This is my first fully handmade zisha pot and I am exceptionally happy with my purchase. The craftsmanship is something to savour and the shrinkage lines running down the sides of the spot look particularly pleasing on this pot shape. Brews tea very well, particularly fragrant oolong varieties and young sheng. Very proud to own this pot.

Beautiful Teapot

I absolutely love my new teapot! The craftsmanship is stunning, every detail reflects the care and skill that went into making it. It’s a joy to hold and pour from. This teapot has made my gongfu sessions feel even more special. Highly recommend to any tea lover looking for an authentic, handmade piece.
