lopin first one really looks like wood fired Yixing to me... that together with the overall style makes me think it’s a modern pot.
Thanks, it came in the wooden box lookimg rather old, with cotton padding inside.

Re: Yixing

It looks like it might have been a bit overfired/burnt in the kiln.

Re: Hagi

Hi Rdl, i have collected number of his houhin sets, i am using one only and it is one of my most beloved tea tools. I like the delicacy and softness that is in a way contradicting hagi estetics but still falls within. I am thinking to offload some of my collection later this year. I want to make it ...
