I like to be careful. I have been warned for the English - Chinese translation by Google. But thanks a lot!!

Hello Bok, thanks for your advice. I speak and write only Dutch and English. Can you provide me the names in Chinese characters? Best regards, Pieter.

Good morning, thanks for your answers. I only ask for advice. I like to learn and to prepare me for my visit Chaozhou in October. The only source for me is going to an auction. Excuse me for using a different angle. Best regards, Pieter

Sorry something went wrong with the number of photo's

Hello to all of you, every post id most helpfull to me. Thanks a lot. Now I post some photo's. Please give me your opinion. Best regards, Pieter.

Thanks a lot for the advice you gave me. The reason for my interest is this: I collect Yixing teapots. In auctions, you see a lot of teapots which are absolute no Yixing. The description is most of the time wrong. But the only description they know is 'Yixing' for every red teapot. The hammer prices...

This information is useful to me. If you like I can collect some hammer prices of CZ teapots (I think) in Dutch auctions.
Best regards, Pieter

Thanks a lot for your reply. In October this year, I visit Chaozhou. Is there a vendor who is trustworthy?

Hello Bok, I have been warned when I visit Chaozhou, ain't I?

Hello Bok, thanks for your answer. I know what you mean. I like to buy antiques but I have to see it, feel it and so on.

Hello Bok,

Goodmorning Bok, Thanks a lot for your explanation. This is very useful. Is there a museum in Chaozhou or Shantou? One of these days I make a picture of what could be a CZ pot. Thanks again, best regards, Pieter
