Qin Quan 秦权, 219.7ml, Duan Ni 段泥 by our collaborative Craftsman Zhao Zhi Dong 赵志东, with Engraving of Plum Blossoms 梅花and Calligraphy by L4 Assoc Master Xing Su 行素。

This is a Classic Qin Quan SUPERBLY crafted by Craftsman Zhao Zhi Dong.  He uses high quality Duan Ni in this work. It is graced by the engraving work of our Craftsman Xing Su.   She  inscribes and engraves for all of Assoc Master Yang Quan Sheng's pots and Assoc Master Du Cheng Yao's pots, which you can see in their collections.

Beside the balanced, incisive and graceful engraving of Plum Blossoms, its flowers, stalks and branches, the inscription of poetry, chosen by Xing Su, goes, "宜史分壶月。心香节劲，真良友也"

宜史分壶月 means, "Using the History of YiXing to present the History of ZiSha",

The next 2 stanzas of four words each: " 心香节劲，真良友也" is originally authored and penned by the ZiSha Artist Yang Peng Nian 杨彭年 of the Qing Dynasty. The poem means, "a good Heart (of mine if I develop it), a good Integrity (of mine if i develop it), will thus become my best friend in my Life."

Enjoy The Journey: your tea and Art of ZiSha, dearest Friends!
