“Naturally aged raw PE is what cooked PE is trying to emulate”

Where did you hear this? Natural storage sheng was not a thing in the 1970’s.

I’m sad to hear this group closing.

It’ll still be the #1 FB group for F1 knowledge even w/o new post though. Glad to see it will still be up for viewing.

@Balthazar

Yea I wouldn’t suggest buying an F2 shuiping unless it’s second hand. Better F1 pots will only cost $15-30 more.

Catalogue for F2.

Inspired by another thread, I wanted to start this discussion about the (Western) Yixing market, which has been on my mind recently while on the hunt to perfect my own collection. [. . .] Those are my observations, what is the community’s take on it? One quirk is that your average internet buyer do...

F2 tends to be a cheap alternative to F1 pots.. No real reason to seek out F2 unless you find one for cheap or just want to do a factory 1 + 2 comparison. Imho a fair price for most F2 should be 50% less than a comparable late 80-90’s F1 pot. $85 for late 90’s shui-ping? Easy pass considering this i...

Hello guys, what do you think about these two pots? The sellers advertises them as white label F1 teapots. Which do you think is better?

@Mark-S

This is black bone. I don’t see anything remotely similar going on with your pot.

@archimon
Glad to hear I wasn’t wrong about the clay type.

Nothing wrong with going for the cheaper pot. You can always upgrade to something nicer or just stick with this one if its satisfies your needs.

It could easily be a mistake in labeling the pot or I could be mistaken about clay. The price suggest it is a coated pot though. Yep, that's true. But the craftsmanship is also not that good. This is not one of their better pots for sure. The lid on this one looks sorta like F2 which is a possibili...

But the seller refers to the pot as HongNi. If the pot is only coated with HongNi this wouldn't be honest in my opinion.

archimon That 1st pot doesn’t look like pure hongni. It might be zini coated inside + out w/ hongni which would explain why it is so cheap. The second one is definitely a significantly better pot since it is pre-77 hongni w/o any additives. The EOT pot is a poor choice for Gaoshan due to muting pro...

Chadrinkincat and Mark-S, the pot in discussion that just sold went for $1,500.

My guess wasn’t wasn’t too far off. $1200

@steanzeI’m not a big fan of that design but it is clearly well done in my opinion. I’m curious to know how much that F1 pot sold for compared the original design you linked to.

@Teas We Like
Thanks for the update
