The finalization took over twenty years. In 1988, following design modifications by Professor Zhang Shouzhi, the "过" lid was changed to a jade disc shape, and Gu Jingzhou created the "Jade Disc Lid Tiliang Teapot." The finalized "Tibi Teapot" features crisp and flowing lines, well-proportioned structural ratios, and distinct variations between solid and void elements. It achieved harmonious unity of content, form, and function, representing a perfect fusion of Zisha clay material, craftsmanship, and modern artistic design. The completed "Tibi Teapot" not only came in different sizes but was also developed into multi-piece sets. It won first prize at the 1987 Tourism Exhibition and Evaluation Conference, earning widespread acclaim from all sectors of society. The "Tibi Teapot" was collected and displayed in the Ziguang Pavilion at Zhongnanhai, and the "Thirteen-Piece Tibi Set" was twice selected as a state gift by national leaders during official visits abroad. In 1994, Gu Jingzhou's "Tibi Teapot" was featured on the China Post *Yixing Zisha Pottery* (1994-5) special commemorative stamps, showcasing the unique charm of Yixing Zisha pottery to the world alongside works by masters such as Shi Dabin, Chen Mingyuan, and Shao Daxiang. From the founding of New China through the early Reform and Opening period marked the second phase of Gu Jingzhou's artistic life. After Yixing's Zisha pottery industry underwent socialist transformation and adopted a collective factory production model, modern Chinese teapot artisans represented by him—through accepting disciples, organizing training classes, and establishing workshops—completely and accurately transmitted the Zisha techniques that had developed from the Ming and Qing dynasties through the Republican era to the next generation.
