Shui Ping 水平, XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi 小煤窑朱泥, 148.8ml, by Craftsman Zhao Xiao Wei 赵小卫。
148.8ml.
From our patron, a esteemed and renowned Tea Master in Italy:
"This Shui Ping expresses all the qualities of XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi, the character of the clay emerges on the surface gracefully in a dance with the perfectly balanced shape, in the small size the balance is more evident. The spout highlights a thickness and a lightness that I appreciate. Compliments to the artist: an austere and vibrant work at the same time."
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. Afterwhich he sets up the Che Yi Dao cutter to revolve and cut the body into a perfect shape.

Shui Ping is the Austere shape and a Super Classic ZiSha model.
Zhao Xiao Wei chose to make this Shui Ping of a version that is more difficult, but generous looking with a superb stance on your tea table.
Skilful Artisan Zhao Xiao Wei crafted up this Shui Ping of thin-wall which is not easy to do right especially with the high (and oft-unpredictable results) shrinkage of XiaoMeiYao ZhuNi AND done on with so many detailing profiles present in this Shui Ping version.
148.8ml to suit our tea sessions for one to two persons.
