Many thanks to Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 and the team at RealZiSha for this perfectly adorable Ru Ding. This is my first fully-handmade pot and I could not be happier. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it is a wonderful vessel for brewing - the pour is very smooth, and the filter is great at catching stray leaves. The lid fit is perfect. Again, thank you Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 for this exquisite work, and to the entire RealZiSha! You are fighting the good fight and bringing the work of good and honest craftsmen and craftswomen to the entire world.
