My Zisha Teapots 我的紫砂壺收藏

春語, 施小馬監製/開四海刻字/儲淩雲手工, 降坡泥

今天收到了這非常特別的紫砂壺。心情興奮。馬上拍照並寫下紀錄。

特別的地方是這非賣品是由三位紫砂工藝家一起做的。這壺是施小馬監製參與設計造型，制作由儲淩雲擔任，並由開四海刻上『壺隨緣至』。壺底款『小馬監製』，並書『春語 該壺共計制作十八只 此壺為十八之十 淩雲』。九號是在Thomas手上。

事源上年十一月到宜興時，得到開四海等的熱情招待，並安排到紫砂大師施小馬工作室參觀和看示範。當我和朋友知道施小馬一家和開四海儲淩雲夫婦會到香港遊覽時，便盡地主之宜幫忙安排酒店交通參觀等。想不到事前他們已經準備了這禮物。

施小馬爺爺施金廷在清末民國已經是有名的紫砂師傅。施小馬現在已是極具名氣的紫砂大師，比較新的作品好像是方器為主，而且他的壺都是自己一手一腳做的，沒有用代工。我自己還沒有任何施小馬的壺，主要是因為我自己喜歡用小壺但現在大師們一般都只做大壺，二來他的壺市價已是很多萬元。開四海是施小馬徒弟之一。開四海原來是習國畫的，所以他的壺一般都有他的字和畫。我有四個開四海的壺。儲淩雲是開四海的太太，作品線條都比較幼細。

對我來說，這壺的紀念意義遠比實用意義大。不過今天我還是用這壺開泡了98紅票綠大樹。這壺泥料是高目數降坡泥，5排14個出水孔每個差不多兩毫米直徑，出水口小力度非常夠，出水12寸不散。空壺170cc，置茶後130cc。從實用角度是非常好用的壺。逼茶力有待觀察。


Spring Whisper by Shi Xiao Ma, Kai Si Hai, Chu Ling Yun

I received this teapot today. It was a very special gift and a product of collaboration by three Zisha artisans. This pot was design and partly made by master Zisha artisan Shi Xiao Ma, caligraphy engraving by Kai Si Hai, and the pot made by Chu Ling Yun. They made only 18 pots and I have no 10. Thomas has no 9.

In Nov 08, I got the chance to visit Yixing where Zisha art originated. Kai and his friends were showing us around, demonstrated to us how various part of Zisha teapots were done, and arranged for us to visit the workshop of Shi Xiao Ma. So when we leanrt that Shi and his family, and the Kai couple, is visiting Hong Kong, we arranged the local receiption parties, hotels, transportations, etc... And they have prepared this special teapot as a token of gratitude.

Shi, in early 50 now, is a third generation Zisha artisan. He's a very well know and respected master artisan now, famous for his square designs, no nonsense approach, and insistence on doing everything himself (instead of farming out part of the works to other people, or worse selling his name as a brand.) I do not have any pot by Shi partly because I prefer practical small teapots around 100-150cc but most master artisans are only making large 300+ cc teapots. Also Shi's teapots are now priced at tens of thousands RMB.

Kai was trained in caligraphy and Chinese painting. He moved to Yixing in mid-90s and started to develop his own style very well in the last few years. I have a few of his teapots. Chu Lin Yun is his wife and an excellent Zisha artisan in her own right.

The Spring Whisper is a very nice teapot not only as a memory of the occasion, but also for its very practical design, and fine craftmanship.

I have not updated the pictures here for a long time. The price of nice pots like the above had gone through the roof and more than doubled in the last 3 years or so.

Anyway, I ordered a set of 原礦紫砂壺 from tea forum, and these are 2 of the 4 in the set. Cost for the whole set RMB1800.

The pictures are taken with a small digicam, so quality is not so good. To illustrate the scale, the poker chips on the side is 39mm in diameter.

流行的壺款，稀有的泥料。

提樑壺很難做的。這是現在我收藏最貴的壺。
