I'm not an artist by any means, but what he explained perfectly describes the feeling I get when I just KNOW I'm looking at a great piece of art. It's not just because it's beautiful but because I can see and almost feel everything the artist poured into the creation of it. It's that much more meaningful when the art is functional.

I am an antique collector. I have many pieces from the Ming, Qing and very early Republic of China pieces from very reputable auction houses. What I found was that the higher the level of the work and more effort the artist put into it, I couldn't find the trait you mentioned. The works were finished precisely inside and out to near perfection, and there was not a single fault, line, or mark to be found.But to anyone who looks at it, it is a real handicraft. Ming Dynasty zisha works are known for their lower level of completion due to the absence of tools and irregularities in technique. But despite what is known, the level of finishing surpasses that of modern works. Perfect curves and seamless freedom, a sense of tenacity and patience. As you said in other comments, I know that what you mentioned in the video is not a perfect standard.But the feeling that most of my collection was fakes according by video, it shock me more than I thought. I know it's authentic because I was double-verification by a Chinese appraiser and an auctioneer, but I was sweating for a moment. 😅

Hello from Turkey. I have a Zhuni "Fish becomes dragon" teapot. It has very beautiful shape and hand carved well. But when I read its certification document, shows "Yuankuang Zhuni". Original ore of red clay. What is "Yuankuang" means? Is it means "Huanglongshan Zhuni"? I think it cannot be make shapy pots with Xiaomeiyo Zhuni or Zhozhang Zhuni because of high shrinkage...

🌿🍵🎋 Dear Sir/Madam, I feel heartened that you appreciate the efforts behind the scenes. I sincerely also wish to emphasise also, that all the absence or presence of each indicator/parameter/signs, is not entire proof of whether a pot is authentic Fully-Handmade vs the ubiquitous jigger-machined pot. 🌻🌻🌻 As written on our website realzisha.com, I also mentioned (which you can scroll and read on our first page), that, Xing Ti 形体 is usually the giveaway. With experienced people, one does not even need to hold and feel the pot, and not even need to open the lid and look within the lid. We can see just by looking at a pot 1 meter away: we can tell by observing the coherency, curves, form, proportions. Yes: just by observing. In fact, in YiXing shops where many, many shops sell counterfeits and non-zisha pots, these counterfeits shop owners will secretly laugh within, if a walk-in customer comes into the shop -> approach a pot->and then touch and lift up the pot and open the lid to inspect within: this sign is the sure sign for the shop owner that he can go up to this walk-in customer and dupe him by various stories into believing that the pot is an "authentic Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot". A Fully-Handmade ZiSha pot has the 形体 Xing Tin, form, shape, that will be the clue as to whether a ZiSha Work is truly Fully-Handmade or not. 🌿🌿🍵🍵🍵🍵 Most of the so-called "Fully-Handmade" indicators can be faked on. This fake industry is huge. There are multiple factories and operations making such fake pots which are jigger-machined and not made from ZiSha at all. There are streets and streets, and buildings and buildings of shops selling such counterfeits. I will also come up with a video soon when we went undercover to unravel such fake operations. The video was done at great danger. 🎋🎋🎋 We only wish to preserve this precious Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art. Gratefully yours, ~ ian🌞

Be extremely careful when considering any of these pots. I have been to the shops in Ding He and can tell you MOST of the pots for sale are fakes. The Chinese have classes in how to make fake pots for the tourist industry. The fake shops are right next door to the shops where actual masters produce works of art. This guy is worried that someone will sell a fake pot for a real price. Remember that China actually had an Apple store that Apple knew nothing about. They had a fake bank that took all the deposits and left town. Just buy a pot that you like and assume that it is fake. If you can afford to spend $1000 on a fake pot, then go ahead. Be happy. I've been collecting and making pottery since 1970. I've studied in Japan and China for 11 years. Be careful, be very very careful. I have more fake stories than I care to tell. As the Chinese say, "Xiao shin di ar!" That's Mandarin for "be careful."

What's the main difference between a handmade pot and a factory made one at this level? Will it severely affect the taste? I have a cheap factory made 60ml teapot and it leaks around the lid. That's my main issue with it. Other than that I think it's quite fine for what it's meant for. I want to own a hand made tea pot, I really do, but they are seriously expensive.
@ninadbhave5133 Жыл бұрын
I think you answered your own question. As per my understanding counterfeits come in 2 varieties- decently functional genuine yixing clay pots that work fine for the tea brewing but which are marked up and sold as more expensive handmade art pieces by masters thus causing economic loss to the buyer, and outright fakes make with non-yixing clay or worse, paint-mixed clays which can be downright harmful to the users. So if a factory-made pot is sold at fair prices, then you get value for money. Similarly if a pot is sold as an art piece "in the style of yixing pot" but with clear warning not to drink from it, fine. It's when those ethical lines are crossed that there is a problem

Save some spare change and you’ll get one in months time, in the meanwhile research on good sources and info (I like essence of tea and realzisha). Get a cheap porcelain or chaozhou 60ml pot (not a good idea to drink from a random factory 60ml pot) for your needs.
