@tingjunkie you are right much of F1 is probably overrated, late Qing early republican is the way to go!

Sure... if you’re rich. I’m a big fan of the Early-Millennial Jing Tea Shop era.

I'll probably get slammed for this, but... If looking at teapots as tools for brewing, rather than for their collector/resale value, I think Factory pots are largely over-hyped. I have several modern pots from private studios that tend to outperform my F1 and F2 teapots. I'm not talking very expensi...

Pot #1 SOLD

Thinner porcelain. Or just use slightly cooler water than right off the boil.

Black meaning red, or meaning hei cha?

Thanks, I'm definitely becoming rather attached, regardless of the market value.

Detail work...

Better photos...

TJ, if you ever decide to get rid of that Best Tea House special order pot you have, you know where to look first. ;) Hey brother!!! Hope you are well.

Pot #6 is sold.

I really don't know much about contemporary Yixing, but this was quite cheap, and I've never seen one like it. It's supposed to measure a bit over 5" wide and 4.5" tal...

I'll take pot #6! I love the look of the clay and the inscription under the lid

Sure thing! Please send me an email at: wanderingteahouse at gmail.com

Pot 6 - $110 95cc qingshuini Rou Bing. Excellent clay and med-high firing. Good lid fit with long skirt. Single hole filter, but I have since installed a custom 99% pure silver wire filter (can be removed). Not sure of the era, but it's not a Factory pot. Likely 90's. Strong pour. Would be a killer...
