Looks like a firing flaw yes.

Thanks, I had not seen this before.

Good chance that this will be my new favorite pot. Shape, clay, workmanship... everything's nice on it, and it even got a ball filter.
The teapot is pretty heavy for the rather small size.

This is one of my favorite bamboo shapes. I have a smaller 130ml version w/ heixingtu. Mine is a bit of a dripper though.

The Square Bamboo is a celebrity dripper!... hahahaha..... use it at half capacity, it will drip a lot lesser.
Cheers!

Yup I only fill it up 75% and use less aggressive pour
Cool!!.... Aside from being a famed dripper, the Square Bamboo is also known for it's beauty in it's definitive lines. Made even more desirable in Hei Xin Tu. Awesome find!
Cheers!
Yep and yep

Even if the pot is from a later period? I know that these pots were also made during the laser sticker era. There are also pretty decent copies of this pot on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/303568873678 , for example), but I am sure that my pot is from F1. However, I am not sure how old it is.
I have seen your pot on Instagram. It's a beauty.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 1:59 pmThis is one of my favorite bamboo shapes. I have a smaller 130ml version w/ heixingtu. Mine is a bit of a dripper though.

Heixingtu is from green label period only. If your if F1 than it’s early-mid 80’s
It would have been easier if you posted them one pot at time to make it clear what bottom belongs to what pot.

The 3rd picture looks like might be a chaozhou (a.k.a. shantou ot chaoshan) pot, possibly vintage.
The two red ones on the 2nd and 6th photo with the similar bottoms look like they might also be some non-yixing clay (chaozhou, taiwanese, ???).
