TRULY FULLY-HANDMADE AND DELICATELY MADE.

NOT those thick-/irregular-thickness-walled ones which are actually fake "Fully-handmade ZhuNi pots" utilising the cheating new technology: "车一刀 Che Yi Dao": Such ZhuNi pots utilizing Che Yi Dao process, have been sprouting up in the market since early 2022. Che Yi Dao involves a swivelling-rotational cutter that goes around a roughly-finished ZhuNi pot to cut the outer surface into a perfect shape. This cutter obliviates the need of accomplished skill of a true Fully-Handmaking Craftsman. Obviously, Che Yi Dao also absolves the need of a skilled FHM Craftsman to 1)pound the slab into a careful thin-slab, 2)paddle-pat the slab into a uniform shape purely manually.

In the utilisation of Che Yi Dao cutter, the worker will just need to 1) roughly pound the slab into a slightly thicker slab. After that the worker rounds up this slab as part of the main body, and will just 2)need to ROUGHLY paddle-pat it into shape. After which he sets up the Che Yi Dao cutter to revolve and cut the body into a perfect shape.

Ming Lu is the Austere shape and model which all ZiSha collectors love for its extreme practicality!

Ming Lu 1)exudes the Aura of Chinese Orientalism, 2)has a wide opening for extreme EASE of introducing tea leaves and washing after steeping, 3)has a sharp-ish spout for decisive cutting of flow, and 4)has a slightly raised lid that stores a column of air above the tea water level when the lid is closed, so that during the initial first moment of pour with that few degrees of tilt, tea water flows out decisively and easily right from the start. 5) It also has a raised circular base with the protruding circular foot so that it is easier for you to lower your hand and introduce your index finger into the handle without your middle finger knuckle hitting the tea table. This raised foot also makes the pot seems larger than its volume suggests, giving it a bigger presence on your 禅意十足 Zen tea table.

Crafted at 110ml to cater for our tea friends who want a small 110ml ZhuNi pot for Gung Fu tea steepings. Suitable for one to two persons.

Amazing Teapot

Love our teapot. The craftsmanship is excellent and every curve is beautiful. The size is also perfect for my wife and I to enjoy tea together.

My best pot

I have several old F1 pots, that I absolutely adore.
But, they can't hold a candle to this Realzisha pot! The clay is so very smooth.
The lid fit is the best that I've ever seen. I have to be careful not to lift the whole pot when the lid seal is wet because of the superb fit.
The spout to handle symmetry is impeccable! When you cover the hole in the lid, the pour almost completely stops. None of my other pots have a lid seal this precise.
Even the box it came in is a piece of art.
The packaging was more than adequate to get this pot across the world unharmed.
Care was taken along every step of this pots life!
I can't recommend realzisha enough. If you're on the fence, don't be. Go ahead and buy one of these awesome teapots!

Excellent pot

Great clay, excellent craftsmanship, sturdy, very nice water flow, does not leak. As always, packaging and delivery was excellent, our postman throws the parcels from the street to the front door (really) and never I got damaged pot from Realzisha. Thank you.

My first Zisha teapot

First session with my zisha teapot.

I'm so glad that I can enjoy a FMH teapot, which brings me joy and peace.

Many thanks to realzisha team and Mr. Zhang Huan for crafting this beauty.
