Our great Craftsman Chen Fa Chu 陈法初 had successfully crafted five pots in tribute of the most distinct and supreme classic version of the JingZhou ShiPiao: the version created by the late Gu Jing Zhou in collaboration with Wu Hu Fan 吴湖帆 where Wu Hu Fan did the bamboo painting and Gu Jing Zhou crafted the pot and performed the engraving/etching. This historical piece was painted on and calligraphed both by 吴湖帆 , and after being carved by 顾景舟, it was given and to 唐云 as a gift. Tang Yun is a famous painter and acclaimed ZiSha collector in the late Ming Guo Republic era.

Chen Fa Chu is very good at this. He makes such perfect Jing Zhou Shi Piao s!!! If you have never seen and held one made by Chen Fa Chu,
Amazing that he crafts them up so EXCELLENTLY, at this price point!
Limited to only 5 pieces for this quarter June to August. We all thank him. Our trusty partner Craftsman 子羽 Zi Yu, partners with him as usual to achieve professional and beautiful, decisive and graceful engraving. Admire carefully both the bamboos and the poem calligraphy.

Commissioning process & customer service:

I commissioned this teapot back in August 2023. Ian and the rest of the team at Real ZiSha were quick to respond to my inquiries, and wanted to make sure they understood exactly what style and engravings I wanted. They were clear in communicating what they thought I was asking for, which helped provide confidence that my vision for the teapot was understood.
The teapot took many months longer than I had originally thought it might, and there were several attempts in the kiln that deformed or broke before making a successful one. I understood that this is a one of a kind piece, not something mass produced, and that this sort of thing can happen with firing ceramics. As an apology for the delay and failed attempts, they included the cups in the tea set, which I much appreciated. After a minor ordeal of getting the teapot through customs, it arrived in July of 2024.

Tea set:

The craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of this teapot: not just the way it looks, but the way it feels in your hands and the way it pours. It feels lighter than one would expect, and the clay feels smooth yet faintly textured in the hands. The engravings have a nice texture, too, having been etched in relief to the teapot. The pour is steady and smooth, with no dribbling. The clay imparts a silky texture to teas and dampens some of their astringency, without dampening the fragrance. For this reason, I’ve dedicated this teapot to Song Zhong oolong tea, and drinking it from this tea set feels deeply enriching.
