This is an absolutely mesmerising piece of ZiSha Work.
GREAT Kudos to Master Chen!
Totally organic and natural sculpting.
Lotus flower, corolla, its pistil top and roots.
Organic.
Every part of this pot is exquisite.
We come to a very special part and the highlight:
Lid.
The astounding lid.
This is one of the most difficult skills to master in ZiSha Art! Each of the seeds within each of their hollow: 1) CANNOT drop out, be contained and be tight and yet 2) each must be able to move freely! The delicacy, YEARS of experience, precision and gumption of the Artist cannot be underestimated:
The mastery of the ZiSha's shrinkage during firing, has to be grasped wisely: if the holes does not shrink enough, the seeds will drop out, if the holes shrink too much, the seeds cannot move freely.
Mind-blowing.
As you REVOLVE and SWIVEL it around, the seeds are able to move, slide and drop down to the lowest gravitational point, WITHIN EACH DELICATELY small compartment.
Master Chen accomplishes this most excellently, while keeping the profile of the lid as THIN as possible to maintain the aesthetic grace, and to keep weight to a minimal (necessary as the Lotus flower as the lid knob has introduced more weight). Witness her dexterity and MASTERY.
You also see the tips of each of the seven convex segments being rounded, organic, and all their tips on the same plane.
The AIM with any Ornate pots is to make sure the whole pot looks 100% organic. She achieved this ultimate aim immaculately.
Assoc Master Chen wants to thank you: Dearest Friends and Patrons for your keen support as she joins the whole big group and team at RealZiSha, so as to provide determined and single-minded efforts to provide TRUE Fully-Handmade ZiSha compositions for all of you friends and patrons. ABSOLUTE and EXTREME value is what we always give of every pot we provide here at RealZiSha. We keep going serving you friends. You and us together on this mission, WILL save this reverenced Art Form, and this being the critical part of the tea culture: tea + pot.
Video and Paper certification::: Assoc Master Chen Xi Fang 陈锡芳 to address you the patron after receipt of this ZiSha Work, her linking up with you via Video Streamyard call to certify and chat with you, the esteemed patron, regarding this Work.
This yixing pot resembling a lotus is the most beautiful tea pot I have ever handled. The exterior body feels smooth and firm, and the interior holds heat better than any other product on the market. The touch of artistry added by the (movable) seeds found in the lid make it feel like the pot is blooming a young flower itself. Well worth the money. Very enriching to be able to enhance the art of tea brewing with such a piece.

this teapot is fabulous. very well crafted and the large opening makes it super easy to load and clean. the size is just right, not too big not too small. I am very happy with this pot and would buy again.
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.
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.
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.
