This is a specially commissioned pot by Esteemed Mr T.D. from Vietnam, specifying clay material: Cao Family's BenShan LuNi, to be made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke 张轲 into the pristine Yun Ying 云婴 ZiSha Work.

Yun Ying is Zhang Ke's NEWLY CREATED ZiSha Model that has only just been crafted for three patrons, two regular patrons from China, and now this for Mr T.D. from Vietnam.

We congratulate Mr T.D. for his patience coordinating with Master Zhang Ke for this work, and with specified inscribed Chinese characters "悟空" (Wu Kong, Mr T.D.'s religious nickname) by Mr T.D.

Master Zhang Ke 张轲 is under the direct high tutelage of National Grand Master of Ceramic Arts and also the next-in-line National Grand Master of The Arts, Chen Guo Liang 陈国良。

Grand Master Chen Guo Liang 陈国良, 国家陶瓷艺术大师 is the ZiSha's fraternity Master and Authority on Thin-Walled Technique on making ZiSha pots. He is the Number One. He is also one of the remaining two Grand Masters and authority for Ornate pots (with all due respect to, and after the passing of, Grand Master Jiang Rong 蒋蓉. We miss her).

This is not just made by L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke, this is made from our own Cao Family's very own carefully prepared BenShan LüNi.

Precious and to be treasured for life.

New, Oriental, Artistic and COHERENT ZiSha Designs are actually very difficult to be created. Zhang Ke had gone through many working designs and prototypes, many versions, extrapolations, and set aside many fired pots, before settling on this best shape.

In collaboration with patrons' requirements, he will always do his best for all his patrons. Even if one pot bogs him down for two-three weeks, he will do it. He crafts two ZiSha Works for two patrons a month on average, meticulously. He takes his time to do the perfect job, accomplish the perfect work for his patrons. It impedes his livelihood and his income. But he lives frugally and commits to perfection of work, more than churning quantities. This being Zhang Ke's Enneagram Type 1 character.

Video and Paper certification. Assoc Master Zhang Ke 张轲, after receipt of pot, Zhang Ke links up with Mr T.D. via Video Streamyard call to certify and chat with Mr T.D., regarding this Work.

Excellent piece of art

The teapot is beautiful, excellently crafted and the characters carved are crisp and bolt. I use it for sheng puerh, where the clay works great. I love it.

Incredible Craftsmanship!

This is my first zisha teapot, but I've found that you don't need much experience to see the obvious attention to detail and meticulous fine tuning of this teapot. No pictures do it justice, it is so much different actually holding one than it is looking at a picture. It is even better in person, I can feel the cool clay and taste the dark notes it adds to my sheng pu'er tea. It's really hard to explain it, even with pictures attached, but it's just amazing. Even the packaging was perfect and very sturdy. Blown away. I hopefully will buy more teapots in the future from RealZisha. Highly recommend.

My First Jiangponi Teapot and Second Fully Handmade Yixing

This Ming Shi Gong Deng is new to me in both form and substance. It is both tall and wide, lending it to versatility in the style of tea brewed, and has a short, wide spout for quick pouring. I used it to brew Dahongpao Yancha, which the Hongni Jiangponi clay expressed beautifully. In a way more pronounced than Zhuni zisha or Chaozhou zitao, this clay filters out strong roasts and reveals the flavors underneath.

Best quality Lu ni teapot

very nice teapot. thank you Ian and Mr Zhang Ke

Excellent

Once again the crew and artists of realzisha delivers excellence on all levels. This teapot is an amazing brewing vessel and beautiful to look at. Thank you once again.
