I've been toying with the same idea, but i don't think i'll ever make one. I'd start with copper to learn how to form it by hammering. I suppose that a lot of the technique could be transferred to silver. But shui-ping wont be easy. Anyway if you manage to make a nice pot in copper, you can always ...

Found the site I was talking about as well: https://www.facebook.com/%E6%A8%B8%E4%BD%9C%E9%8A%80%E5%99%A8-307708779240157/?__xts__[0]=68.ARBNYVfTjVlyxLTix8RwpDz48SXBqb6jmgfvMWUp0nEqj6uTcQc3cdzYPQhyyoEh-BTQUoLEO-ITz0004qkMstJL2vvptbw7hiXb2fAaSuJr5fHmxDCXy1IjPxQPOocPMfIk5yg0f6lsTsm1cipPRAZPa286iuykEE...

Thanks!

@Isarite

Nice plum blossom pot. Looks like it might be 80’s F1.

A close relative of that design.

@steanze

Nice fat cannon on that pot!

I can't even believe how much you are asking for them...

Pricy compared to standard shuiping but all are cheaper than this pot from late 80’s. Serious sticker shock! $558 usd

That sounds really cool! I'm not a fan of the gaudy decorations on most of the silver teapots that I've seen. I don't know anything about making them though; do you have any experience with metal casting? Most of the readily available silver pots are pretty tacky. Not should I would even pay scrap ...

I remember seeing someone in Taiwan having a fb page and doing just that, need to look it up. Has become quite the trend in Taiwan, hammered little silver ware, mostly spoons, cups etc. I think that is how one would create those, by hammering. Japan would be the other place I’d look for information...

idk about hammering out a shuiping lol i think this is what you'd do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost-wax_casting I originally thought of casting a replacement lid for one of my pots but than came across some videos of raising hollow vessels. It seems like a better option. It would be pretty coo...

I’ve been considering getting into making metal teapots with the hopes of eventually making some in 99% silver in shui ping/bale ROC/f1 styles.

Anyone know much about making silver pots? Or have links to relevant info for them?

Green label 90ml nzwh gong fu set for sale. 4 cups + tea tray. Good firing in unused condition. $375 w/ us shipping included.

Just got this 120ml beauty. Looks to be early 70’s Hong ni. It should be an interesting comparison to the late 70’s 120ml that I’ve been using daily for the past 2.5mo.

I finally got my hands on a decent early 80’s duan ni pot. So far I’ve have good results with cheap canned 80’s oolong. It seem to accentuate the aged character while smoothing out the roughness. I’m gonna test it with a number of other teas before I dedicate to anything. The clay probably pales in ...

+1 for M. Ideally you should already have years worth of teas you can enjoy now before you even consider long term investing. Your safest bet for not wasting $$$ is to buy 7-10yr old cakes that are already showing signs of good aging. YQH along with some tongs of daily drinker factory teas with humi...
