Duo Zhi 掇只, Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao 原矿大红袍, Crafted by Senior Master Cao Lan Fang 曹兰芳 as a Bespoke Commission for Mr L.T. from Stafford. We congratulate Mr L.T.!! Thank you Mr L.T.!!

Dearest Friends,This is the first of the ten Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao works that are commissioned between November 2023 to February 2024. Senior Master Cao had successfully crafted and fired the Duo Zhi works, and this is Mr L.T's Duo Zhi with its bespoke requirements of the Heart Sutra inscription. To say that we are very excited for its birth, is an understatement.  This ZiSha work has too much going for it behind the scenes.  The years of careful limited use through the years, the rarity and preciousness of it, our Aunt Cao Lan Fang being the designated Artist to work on our family's rare Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao all these years, and its remaining few bricks.  She is most familiar with this clay, much more so than even our Uncle Grand Master Cao Ya Lin, Grand Master Cao Yan Ping, and Premier Master and Senior Master Cao An Xiang.  Our Family tasks her to perform all the Yuan Kuang Da Hong Pao works at designated two to six year intervals for our patrons in China. We welcome Mr L.T. from
