Fine materials
This customized "Quick Cup" uses authentic vermilion mud as the raw material, which is the same as the material used to make high-quality purple clay teapots. It instantly beats most products on the market that use rough materials.
Craftsmanship
There are actually not many high-quality products on the market for quick cups. Most of them are grout products, which are relatively rough. Compared with the craftsmanship of purple sand and porcelain, it is not taken seriously, so it is difficult to see works with craftsmanship.
The shrinkage rate of purple mud is too high, usually above 20% or even 30%, and the pot yield after firing is too low. However, the lines of the Kuai Ke cup body are changeable, making it more difficult to shape than ordinary purple clay teapots, and there are challenges in terms of technology and techniques. It is quite difficult to achieve the perfect shape of the vessel.
Highly practical
The capacity is about 80ml~160 ml, and the container is of medium size, which is the golden capacity for brewing Kung Fu tea. The inside of the pot body is very carefully made with a raised tea filter, which will not block it, but also allows the tea soup to stay for an appropriate period of time, helping us brew a more satisfying tea flavor!
This model is carefully customized by Teacher Mr.Zhang Ye张烨, comes with a certificate, and is packaged in a linen bag. The style is very elegant and easy to carry!

A closer look at the craft
Yixing Zisha: form for everyday tea
Zisha teaware comes in many forms: a small teapot, a lidded gaiwan or a tasting cup. Begin with the way you brew, the number of people and the capacity of the individual piece. The gallery above shows the selected product; the photographs below introduce the wider craft.
Shaping and working the clay
Preparing the clay, shaping the body and fitting the lid, handle and spout require attention to proportion and use. The process photographs illustrate workshop stages; the making method for an individual item follows its own product specification.
Clay painting and surface detail
In clay painting, coloured clay slip is used to build imagery on the vessel. Flowers, landscapes and calligraphy give painted pieces another layer of expression. Plain pieces are also offered; choose the actual design in the options rather than relying on a studio example.
