Dearest Friends, we present our new collaborative Craftsman, Wang Jian Long, and we asked him to do his best for you friends.
This is what we had discussed and specially arranged with him.
Wang Jian Long succeeded to impress us.
This is a very excellent Yi Li Zhu! Very beautifully formed.
1. Looking at the absolutely natural-flowing, silhouetted spout, we know it came with lots of effort and experience.
2. The lid is of the difficult Qian-Gai interface, whereby the lid sits INSET into the top surface of the pot.
3. The overall organic form and PERFECT proportions of this lovely and beautiful Yi Li Zhu.
Appreciate and cherish this latest collaborative hard work and successful pot out from the kiln. We welcome our new and invited collaborative Craftsman Wang Jian Long. We thank him and he too is very glad to be with us.

This pot has the discontinuous and roughly horizontal marks in the inner walls, and these are called the: 泥凳纹 Ni Deng Wen, which are the marks left on the clay slab , complementary to the marks on the workbench of the Craftsman Wang Jian Long!!!🙇♂️🤗🎋 During the making of FHM ZiSha pots, the Craftsman will be using tools to cut the clay slabs, etc, and these leave marks on the studio workbench. Especially the first major forceful cut across the table to delineate the clay she/he wants to utilize to form the main body of the body. Thus when the craftsman subsequently pound the clay slab on a well-worn workbench which bear these cut-in marks, these marks will be etched complementarily onto the clay slab! Thus you are "enjoying" the additional natural hallmarks of a Fully-Handmade pot. (For example, a partially handmade pot will not show these marks). And for those Jigger-machined pots, what they manifest are CONCENTRIC, continuous circular lines, all parallel to one another.
Insane smooth pour, amazingly round and soft. Coincidentally arrived during a half moon. Amazing
the shape of the bottom rim is great
I’m extremely satisfied with this teapot. It’s an excellent size for brewing sheng pu’er, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Many thanks to craftsman Gu Xiao Ming for his excellent work. I highly recommend Real Zisha to any tea enthusiast looking for a quality teapot. Thank you!
I feel so blessed and honored to own a teapot from this master. She knew my vision and created exactly what I wanted. It is beyond exquisite and it will never fail to put me in awe.
Truly special ore. Look up eggplant zini famed in the Qing dynasty. Felt slightly Sandy at first (in an unadulterated clay positive manner) but after the first few sessions the teapot is becoming more smooth and vibrant. So grateful for your craft cultural preservation!
