I would not bet on these pots, but if they were on my wishlist... maybe. Depends on the price and how much I want them. :lol:
@Mark-S
Very true, there’s always something that attracts us to gambling pots :lol:

Re: Yixing

DailyTX Thanks, I was just interested in the design which is very common. There are dozens of this pot on eBay. :) https://www.ebay.com/itm/254522460751 https://www.ebay.com/itm/133348730851 https://www.ebay.com/itm/133347189897 https://www.ebay.com/itm/293469373429 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19335...

Re: Yixing

Mark-S that pot is also clearly not old... to learn you need to have a look at confirmed antiques. The web is full of items labelled antique, while they are not. So you would not trust this site? https://kknews.cc/zh-sg/collect/3ae5jpy.html Someone here on teaforum.org or teachat.com used it as a r...

Re: Yixing

Here are two photos of the pot ./download/file.php?id=4552 ./download/file.php?id=4551 Wow! That’s the first time I see something like this! Also sloppy arrangement of the holes. But as we said, easy to fix! Bok Are those two holes perfect for a staple to add some flavor to the pot? :lol:

Re: Yixing

yeah...not much financial value for this pot, and definitely not worth sending it in to a specialist for repair. Since the pot worth a few cups of coffee, even if I break the pot during the self repair process, my wallet won't feel the pain :D Talking about the repair, the holes are quite interest....

Re: Yixing

The article said a lot of pots with yixing China stamp were imported to Taiwan in the 80s until the government came out with a ban. 1985 afterward, the stamp on the bottom was replaced with name of the artist. Anyone heard of this before? I belive this is why the green label "made in china" was cre...

Re: Yixing

Just want to add to something I read recently, I have no idea on validity. Maybe Bok may know more giving your location. I came across an article talking about F1 in the 80s, and 1985 was the cut off mark for “old pots”. The article said a lot of pots with yixing China stamp were imported to Taiwan ...

Re: Yixing

I’m sure I’ve posted this before but here it is again. An F2 catalogue. https://www.facebook.com/groups/twteapot/permalink/562896190487891?sfns=mo Bok This is partly true for some designs but often the difference between the same pot from F1 and F2 is quite obvious.

Re: Yixing

Also take into the equation that a lot what people think are F1, are actually F2, F5 or from other studios, the differences can be minute and it takes a lot of experience with the real ones to see the difference. One reason I am staying away from ornamented tea pots, those are popular for faking and...

Re: Yixing

Youzi Okay, thanks for the update. :) I'm glad I kept the pot. It's beautiful despite some flaws. I'm not sure how the handle and spout could be molded though. Maybe half side half side, then later attached? That's what I thought, but I don't know why they should use two moulds and not one for the ...

Re: Yixing

I would say it's a super easy repair lol, at one point I was thinking should I just jam a grain of rice there :D :D :D I'll post a photo this weekend. That is actually not far off from what is done with kintsugi :lol: Bok Have you heard of artists installing sprout first before drilling filter hole...

Re: Yixing

DailyTX depends on the hole... if it’s too large I’d consider Kintsugi. There are specialists for other than staple and Kintsugi in China, but I doubt it’s worth the commoner pot and their workflow is probably not that smooth at the moment :( I was just about to get some staples done, when the firs...

Re: Yixing

I consider the money a tuition fee. I had never heard of cadogan pots before, and I only knew that the craftsmanship of this pot is bad not the clay. Tuition fee is fine and a given for such a confusing and vast topic as Yixing. All I am saying is the money could be spent wiser :mrgreen: I think I ...
