Gu Hu 鼓壶, 226.7ml, Di Cao Qing Zi Ni 底槽青紫泥, by Craftsman Zhao Xin Yue 赵欣悦。

Gu 鼓 is, the drum, the percussive instrument.

A challenging model that is deftly crafted by Craftsman Zhao Xin Yue!  1.  Notice the "Qian Gai" 嵌盖 Lid-to-Body Interface, is the most difficult to model Lid-to-Body interface over the other two interfaces, the Jie Gai 截盖 and the Tian Ya Di 天压地 interfaces.  2.  This interface is very neat, and also very adorably adorn the upper surface with a circular line that mimics the rim of the "drum skin" in a real drum!  3.  Also notice the bottom: the surface being uniformly, totally flat! devoid of any unduly warping/deformation during firing as the ZiSha shrinks within the kiln.

Thank you dearest Friends in Tea, for your grandest support to these honest and dedicated Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and Craft.
