Yixing di cao qing zini 213,6 ml- by Gu Xiao Ming

Fully handmade Han Jiang 213,6 ml, di cao qing zi ni clay.
Used about 5 times with organic pu-er tea. Bought it in feb. 2025. Comes with certificate and original box. As new condition.

Craftsman Gu explains that, the Han Jiang 寒江 when done well! :-D has a very balanced body, but this requires careful and detailed hard work and a huge sense of, and staunch commitment to aesthetic cohesiveness, on all aspects:
The curve of the bulge of the main body, tallying with the exact placement of the spout base onto the body, the exquisite spout tip with properly furnished edges despite the intrinsic kink, the lid-knob whose form and whose height cannot be too tall to prevent upsetting the overall cohesiveness of the entire shape when viewed at all angles on your tea table, and the handle.
Of particular note is the lid-knob, which is a actually a mini-sculptural motif itself. (Sculptural work is an Art fraternity by itself: Artists and Craftsmen are of its own fraternity in YiXing):
1...the surfacing and refining work around the mini-ring about its "pillar" core, requires more time and much more care.
