This pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks in the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks left on the clay slab , complementary to the marks on the workbench of the Craftsman. During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftladies and Craftsmen will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these leave marks on the studio workbench. Especially the first major forceful cut across the table to delineate the clay she/he wants to utilize to form the main body of the body. Thus when the craftsman subsequently pound the clay slab on the workbench, these marks will be etched onto the clay slab! Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot. Even a partially handmade pot will not show these marks. And those cheating Jigger-machined pots may show CONCENTRIC circular lines, usually all parallel to one another, and extremely uniform.
Again, do cherish and have fun admiring the discontinuous, roughly horizontal lines on your pot's inner walls, are called, the 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen "Workbench Lines/Marks" 😊🌿🎋
this was the second pot i commissioned by master Zhang Ke. Ian advised me in the clay a year ago and so it became a pot in Kui Huang Duan clay. The clay feels a little sandier than other clays and the pot is somewhat heavier. But what a beauty it is, well worth the wait! The skills of master Zhang Ke are second to none. It came in a beautiful box, well wrapped as always! i thank master Zhang ke wholeheartedly for this beautiful piece of art and Ian an Yi-Lei for taking such good care of their customers and making Yixing available for the broader public.
Zhu Sha gives very nice character to the skin. It is very well made inside and outside, the fit of lid is remarkable that only straight up will open smoothly. This is the second pot from realzisha and I am amazed of their quality of product and service.
As always very good communication and product is as described authentic and pure handmade
Amazing quality and well made for good price. Fit of the lid is perfect, and it will not dall off from tilting to pour tea
Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming's work with this piece is incredible. I am so thankful to have a piece as well made as this in such a small size for my expensive teas.
