Here are some better pictures: thanks so much! I’m super excited for the opportunity to understand better.

Nice pictures! The shuiping is green label (1977-1982), the xishi is modern but the clay seems quite good as far as I can tell. What tea do you plan to use them for?

i have some interesting updates: after asking in a Facebook group, the mark was successfully read: 清香美月 [Qing Xiang Mei Yue] 'Pure Fragrance Beautiful Moon'a also the user who identified the mark found some pots with the same mark on internet: this kind of research will not yield new insights on a ...

Can you be sure it is not at least slip-cast? should be half-handmade at least...

In my opinion it is not slip cast.

thanks a lot for your observations! why would you say it is mass produced? what are the signs? just so I know for personal knowledge... anyway, at least now I know it is yixing clay and that I can use it without worrying too much. thank again for the help!! You are welcome! We tend not to share ver...

what do you think? is it a real Yixing/chaozhou? can you recognise the maker? It looks like a Yixing pot made after 2000. It is on the lower end of usable pots, but buying on auction that means that you did fairly well as most pots on those auctions aren't usable. I can't recognize the maker, but i...

Happy New Year!

Great pot! Is it zhuni? LQER? Were this not a yixing thread, i'd probably think from the picture that it was a tokoname, but not sure why.
Happy new year!

This thread has been a joy whenever I stumbled over it in the past, so today I am joining the forum with this recent modern Shuiping addition - it only had about a week's worth of sheng at this point.

Looks nice! I'd take the clay claims with a grain of salt.

Happy New Year!

Some more teapots I just got in!

The clay on the large one is quite good

I have been quite absorbed with other things so I have not been able to check the thread frequently... just stopping by to say that this is really a great example, thanks for sharing. Thank you; here's a photo of its observe side. It looks better in person, I think (especially when it starts glowin...

Taking out a more chubby version of a Biandeng to serve a few more people than usual… a welcome excuse to feed this lovely Zhuni clay.

Very nice workmanship and proportions on this one! The clay also looks very fine.

What about flat pot clan? Nice start to the flat-pot-clan / flying saucer pot clan... Sadly, I've only got one prospective member of the clan to keep yours company.

EDIT: but an international version is in the works!

Very nice, that will be really helpful to spread knowledge about Yixing teapots!
