See how dark this one below is (I think that this one is Zhuni). I don't think its the light. Are they just made of different clays? (Zhuni and Hogni) Perhaps its just a matter of quality? In my opinion, both pots you posted are modern hongni, although I'd need better lighting for the pot on the ri...

That’s a nice pot!
(Sorry but no idea about the clay)

Is this one from a shop on Bowery? They normally have price tags on them that are high with hopes that you'll be too afraid to haggle or feel like you got a good deal if they lower price for you. I used to live in Chinatown so I passed by multiple stores like this one everyday. I've seen pots just ...

Looks like your at one of those pop up antique replica stores on Bowery near Spring st. $125? That's way too much. They normally sell those for 50% less than they're listed for.

What kind of clay? Is it garbage? Just overpriced? Would appreciate any comment D28F2B4A-4FBE-4A30-9...

Looks like a 1980s neiziwaihong, should be around $100 intact. The chipped spout will be annoying, you could get it kintsugi'd but it will cost more than the pot. If you can get it for like $30 you can use it as a study piece, otherwise it is not really worth it. Thank you very much! For what kind ...

Hi everyone, I can get a good deal on this pot because its spout is chopped. I'm just a beginner so its a good opportunity for me to experiment brewing tea in a pot but wouldn't like to buy something of low quality.... Do you think that otherwise it is a good one? what clay is it? quality? Many than...
