Re: Troubleshooting: Site Issues & Bug Reports
I'm no longer receiving email updates on threads I follow - I tried emailing the admin but I'm not sure that went through (or maybe I just didn't receive the response). In any case - it would be great to get emails when certain threads post again. I had the same issue a while back, one time they la...

Re: The Porcelain Thread
Thanks for your comments. Do you think it’s modern because it’s in unused condition, or are there any other signs that would indicate this? Gloss and material do no look like it would on older porcelain. Style is also fairly common to see in Japan on semi-vintage-modern era pieces. Generally, you'd...

Re: Your favorite Dan Cong vendor?
As far as I am aware it is a loose cooperation with that business, not himself. More like a curation.

Re: Yixing
A pot I’ve been liking a lot since a long time, but have always put on hold for a variety of reasons, finally in my collection! 1960s Hongni Bianyuan. A shape rarely seen, but very beautiful in its simplicity. My second favourite teapot shape. Also, just for the clay I’m willing to put my snobbery a...

Re: Yixing
I picked up a super dirty Xi Shi pot recently with the thought of Nian Gao Tu in mind. Might be due to tea stain, the whole pot had a light brown hue on the outside. After a deep cleaning session, it appears to be Hong Ni possibly from the late 70s - early 80s. What do you all think? I apologize fo...

Re: looking for any info on the quality/authenticity of this pot. Thanks a lot!!
The vendor isn't an yixing focused one, is a generic antique vendor, and he surely didn't clean the pot prior to selling it/photographing it so the dirt on the bottom of the pot could be dirt maybe. Actually the pot didn't seem that bad clay wise and, in my humble and surely not expert opinion, I s...

Re: looking for any info on the quality/authenticity of this pot. Thanks a lot!!
Mèng Chén (孟臣) but I have so far not yet seen any version attributed to him in seal script, so far I've ever only seen handwritten signing. But obviously the pot is much too young for being his work. The sign in the leaf on the left could be Xiāng (香), have seen that once that there was an additi...

Doesn’t look promising, the attempts at faking patina looks as if done to pass it off as antique… clay doesn’t look like Yixing to me, at least not good quality.

Re: EsonTea: DaYuLing 95k
Does anyone know the status of 95K or any of the other farms? Did not check recently, but you can reasonably assume that most of what is left of DYL tea is staying inside the country... a lot of what you see marketed as DYL is pretty close to the area, so taste wise it can be the same(or better, de...
