A little late to the Chaozhou party, here is my recent adoption. This little guy had a broken spout, I speculated that the previous owner attempted to modify it into a canon spout. The pour was affected by the uneven opening of the sprout tip. After a good spa, deep cleaning, and refining the sprout...

A vendor has the same clay teapot but two different weights. Would the weight have much of an effect, should I buy the heavier one if I’m brewing honcha so the pot can get hotter? The lighter one is half handmade and the heavier one is full handmade Shine Magical If the size is the same, heavier te...

I believe ball filters are mid to late 1970s, and some earlier 1980s. I have only seen it with big pots tho.

I have less information and other references for one of my teapots. Maybe someone can show me other examples or links of this F1 shape with 500ml.

Interesting pot, looks like Yixing yet not sure. What type of tea have you explored with this new friend? It's been enjoying some roasted baozhong this morning. I might try some lighter styles of tea, then some darker ones, and see what it likes best. It's a very 'rough' clay, consistent with the r...

Anyone interested in Biandeng from Factory 1 from the 1960s and 1970s (Hongni of course) let me know. Got an offer for one of each of these, which I might take up... also an antique Zhuni Biandeng. Biandeng X 3 😍 what’s the size of these Biandeng pots? I don't quite trust the over the table guessti...

DailyTX that looks a bit dodgy indeed… in that light the clay seems very red as well, but it may be the lighting.

@Bok Good eyes! It does have a deeper red color tone compared to regular zini. The color is close to Hong Qing Shui Ni color.

Having my first pot of sheng in 2023. Drinking a 2005 Xiaguan Tuo brewing in a 90s Zini pot.

What do you all think about this Ba Le pot? The clay has a lot more impurities compared with other F1 pots I own. Replica?
