Hi if this is fully handmade how are the rings created in the inside of the lid? Thank you I find you videos very helpful because of you I discovered I have one fully handmade pot but it looks like a practice teapot 😅.
Dear Friend🫶😄🎋good question!!! Yes, it is accepted in the ZiSha Fully-Handmaking fraternity to use a "compass"-like twirling small tool to swing it around to flatten, even out the lid slab bottom surface. Remember also that, if the main body is diagnosed to be of Fully-Handmade origin, then -> the clay used, MUST be ZiSha. (A Jigger-machined pot can never use ZiSha. ZiSha as a ceramic material, can NOT sustain a jigger-machining forces. If you have a chance to work on a ZiSha slab, you will realize: how VERY FRAGILE the ZiSha slab is! 😄🌞🙇♂️. And, after you diagnose a main body of this certain pot to be of Fully-Handmade origin, made of real ZiSha, then -> you feel the accompanying lid. ---> if the lid looks and feels to be of the same material used AS the main body, we CAN EASILY infer that this lid is made of ZiSha and HENCE CANNOT BE JIGGER-MACHINED! 😄👍💪👍 🍀Always go back to this, First principle: ZiSha as a material, can NOT be Jigger-machined, ZiSha cannot withstand the Jigger-machining forces. Have fun Buddy!!!!💪😄👐🌞 ~ ian.
They hammer the clay on wood (wood has creases and likely has more due to the tools scratching it). The lines should not concentric and parallel, this is a common motif for factory 1 pots also.
@thezishateapotchannel.1675 Simply not true, clay softness has nothing to do with the clay body, only its hydration. Porcelain is many times softer than Zisha, and it can be easily sculpted by a machine. Zisha can also be sculpted by machine.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I've learned so much from your videos! Please continue sharing 🙏🏼
Dear Mr Yuan! We learn together!... there are many more details we can go by as well. Enjoy your tea with your family and friends!l 🙌😄🌞👐🌻🎋🎋🎋
