Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 thanks you dearest friends for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Enjoy his diligence, superb, classic handwork with this Jian Liu De Zhong, and let his work accompany you on your tea journey!

Explained, https://www.realzisha.com/blogs/news/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot. Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot. Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully. Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month. For ZiSha models/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well. Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too. Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect. We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and Craft.

Beautiful beyond words

What gorgeous little teapot this is. Delicate , beautiful crafted flowers, a feast for your eyes. The pour is really very good. I tried with a pu ehr and the clay is very good. It rounds and makes the tea soup taste very lovely thick, sweet and round. I am so glad I purchased this little pot. I think this will become one of my favourite pots to use.

Beautiful Teapot

This is the largest teapot I have owned, and yet it is very well balanced.

The lid fit is impeccable, and the shape of the thumb knob really is the cherry on top.

beautiful elegant piece of functional art! will be making tea with this as long as i am able :)

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!
