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.
