Probably a nixing teapot

Three Nixing pots. Everyone is different from each other I mean porosity, thick/thin walled, colour.

such a hater Bok it can't all be antique zhuni. I am curious what your direct experience with it is- newer or older pots and what you were brewing with it? I'm not trying to call you wrong here - we all have our opinions and tastes.

Let's say it like this – if I were wanting to drink this kind of tea I would have plenty of other choices which would please my eyes a bit more, e.g. some Tokoname stuff which yields similar results, or some reduction fired Yixing, or some less well fired Shantou. You are right, none of the Heicha/Shou category is anything I will drink on a regular basis, but I did try both Nixing and Shu/Liu Bao, only to confirm my prejudices, lol. It was one of those Begonias from a friend. No idea what kind and I did not take pictures either, of course.

Personally I find the mix of blotchy uneven surface colours, combined with that gloss incredibly off-putting. Fugly. But that's me.

@tolean looks like a lovely set to own and study. I hope this is not too off topic, it seems three out of four famous Chinese potteries have a space in the tea world. Anyone own the mysterious fourth type of pottery? Not sure the English name, but the Chinese name is 荣昌陶 from
ChongQing, China.

Thank you! I do not have anything from that clay/pottery))
