Its not a style of pot I'd personally go for but if it's authentic than it probably has decent clay. Price is reason so go for it if you like that shape and firing level.
I think for 1 person is a bit on the large side, but shu is relatively forgiving so you could fill the pot part of the way if you want less tea. The clay looks ok. In my view it is a bit pricey for what it is though, I would look around a bit more.
That seems really overpriced to me.
I know it's not easy to get good pots cheaply. But just for the sake of comparison, this one

seems to me quite a bit nicer and a bit cheaper too (and comes from a trustworthy vendor, which sort of justifies their prices).
EDIT: Oh wait, forget what i said. They sell the same pot for even more...

Looks like Hauying Chen will be selling F1 Yixing via his new web site 2088taiwan.com , an extension or affiliate of kyarazem’s 2088tea.com The site appears to be in-progress. They posted about it at; https://www.facebook.com/2088Tea/posts/1601164213296561
I checked them out, the pots they have are a little out of my league...Victoria wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 8:57 pm

Ah! That's weird, I thought there was a U.S. Flag in the top left corner, and I assumed that indicated the currency.
EDIT. I see now that the U.S. flag indicates the language.

It seems the site is still being set up, so I would not go by any prices currently posted.
