Seeing this on the site it really spoke to me, a very unique lovely shape with a super smooth texture and beautiful zhu ni color. This is one of my first pots so I don't have much reference but to me everything seems great, keeps temperature well, pours nicely, lid is fitted perfectly and stays in even when pouring.
I am absolutely satisfied with the teapot. Both the aesthetic and quality aspects of it are perfect, very clean, round shapes, and the clay looks beautiful! It served me well during my tea sessions with it!
I want to additionally point out the great shipping of the product: the pot was well packaged so even though the post handled the package roughly it was completely unharmed!
So I want to thank everyone for creating and delivering me this beautiful masterpiece.
I love the teapot. It is a beautiful teapot. I waited 6 months for it, but I'm very happy to have it.
the craftsmanship is wonderful, very clean and well made. the potbelly look on the little legs reminds me of a cauldron. it make me happy just looking at it and it makes great tea. i would purchase this again without hesitation
The team at RealZisha (Ian & Yi-Lei), Master Wang Dong Ping, and I had a video call recently, and they provided excellent interpretation and facilitation between us as we discussed this wonderful work and I asked questions about using and caring for it. We spent an hour discussing not only these points, but also how the demand for handmade ZiSha wares far outpaces the supply, and has led to the unfortunate prevalence of “Dai Gong” -
ZiSha studios fraudulently passing off less-experienced artists’ works as those of their highest-profile artists, some even going as far as just relegating these master artisans to taking photos with pots made by others so they can mark them up significantly. This video call provided extra assurance and confidence that this Qu Hu masterpiece is indeed a genuine work by these two eminently talented artisans.
Not that there could be any doubt of this tea set’s quality and craftsmanship. As others who commissioned works here have said, the photos truly do not does not do this pot and cups justice. Holding them in your hand, you can feel the consistency and balance of weight that leads to ease of use along with the ergonomic shape, which is achieved while not sacrificing any of its beauty.
I plan on featuring this prominently in life’s special occasions for years to come in addition to everyday use, and look forward to cultivating it with many tea sessions.
