From Zini to Zhuni

So the worst happened, I elbowed my beloved Lao Zini teapot off the countertop when trying to unplug an appliance. It broke, only the lid surviving intact. It’s served me very well for many years. I replaced it with a Zhuni pot as I’ve always been curious about this clay and wanted to try. It’s from the same studio and a little smaller than my old one. I usually drink shou pu’er (daily) and I wonder if there’s anything I need to pay particular attention to, being used to Zini. Is the risk of thermal shock really that much higher? Any other things I should know about caring for a Zhuni pot? Thanks in advance, tea lovers!
