[About the "Si Zuo Lou" Variety]
The Si Zuo Lou is a highly iconic and historically significant variety within the Lion's Head (Shi Zi Tou) family. Originating from the Pinggu region, it is celebrated for its broad-shouldered silhouette and its signature "Chrysanthemum Base" (Ju Hua Di)—a distinct, naturally radiating pattern at the bottom of the shell. Known for its solid shell density and deep, flowing ridges, the Si Zuo Lou offers a classic tactile experience and develops a rich, translucent patina with consistent handling.
[Characteristics of SZL-603]
