Delicately made, thin-walled, NOT thick-walled, NOR irregular-thickness-walled like those cheating new technology 车一刀 Che Yi Dao 朱泥 pots 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.

Xi Shi is the Austere shape and model which all ZiSha collectors must have.

Xi Shi, is a spherical shape which is extremely difficult to get right just with the paddle and hand. That is why we cherish Fully-Handmade Xi Shi so much.

Skilful Artisan Zhao Xiao Wei crafted up this Xi Shi 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 a round-ish, spherical shape that is the quintessential Xi Shi.

142.8ml to suit our tea sessions for one to two persons.

Smooth like silk, glitters like gold

This is such a sweet little teapot. As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be mine. The order was sent to me on July 8th from their office in Singapore and it arrived today, on the 22nd. I have to thank the people at Real Zisha for their amazing service. I was able to track the order at any time I needed, and the teapot came very safely packed. I was really afraid it might break, travelling half the planet, but the guys here really know what they are doing. As for the pot itself, I think my mother said it best when she saw it: "Never in my entire life have I seen something like this." After I unpacked it, we just stayed there in silence, I have no words to describe how beautiful this teapot is, how precious it is to hold. If Craftsmen Zhai Yi Yao and Yi Hu Bi happen to read this review, I want to give them my eternal gratitude. Their work has given my tea journey an entirely new meaning. Thank you! :)
