Shen Rutao is a disciple of Ma Pinyi, who has already become highly proficient in traditional zisha techniques despite being in his early twenties. He owes his success to his natural talent and his unwavering dedication to the art of zisha. At a young age, Shen Rutao has already attained a deep understanding of the craft and honed his skills under the tutelage of Master Ma Pinyi. With such a promising start, he is sure to become a true creator in the future. Let us look forward to witnessing his growth together.

This Pao Gua is a replica of a piece from the Qing Dynasty. It has a classic and cute design and we kept 90% of its original features. 

Under the supervision of Master Ma Pinyi, we refined the shape of the body, making it more smooth and harmonious. We also made subtle changes to the proportions of the lid and knob, which have made the pot more practical. Now, it's easier to grab the lid and it's not as slippery as before, which means it won't burn your fingers while pouring hot water.

Moreover, the pot has been fired using the reduction firing method. This method involves restricting or eliminating oxygen in a kiln, which causes metallic oxides to convert to their reduced metallic state.
