The first 绞泥壶 that I have acquired and I am extremely satisfied with the level of sophistication demonstrated in the workmanship, not to mention Master Shao's new take on the classic 华径壶 that incorporates his youthful flair! I'm so exhilarated just thinking about brewing tea in this vessel cum work of art! Thank you to the owners of Real Zisha who made this acquisition so fuss-free and I look forward to many more fruitful purchases!
