I was just using zini as an umbrella term. To my eye it looks like a sandy QSN.
I think #3 is real as well. Still not 100% on #1.tingjunkie wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 2:44 pmI was just using zini as an umbrella term. To my eye it looks like a sandy QSN.

Real or not, these are some very nice pots you have ting. Cough cough paging steanze.
clay composition looks a little off to me.tingjunkie wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:41 pmYou sound pretty sure. Can you tell us what details lead you to those conclusions? I'm always trying to learn.
By no means am I any sort of an expert.
I think all three are real now! I've never seen a shuiping with the same exact engraving as #3, but it's a really nice pot. First one looks like vintage clay

Isn't the #3 please drink oolong series pot suppose to have a different base stamp?
There were many versions, with different stamps. This is what Dr. Lu writes in his article on the Quin Yin series:Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 10:47 amIsn't the #3 please drink oolong series pot suppose to have a different base stamp?
"In the 1970s, all the “Qing Yin” pots that we had studied are made of red clay (hong ni). Purple clay (zi ni) “Qing Yin” were made only from the 80s, and there are three base seals for this batch. One of them is similar to the 70s’ base seal, the other two seals are longer and narrower and can be divided into 22 or 23 character versions."
So I'd be guessing 90's repro? But very nice in any case.

Can anyone confirm which plant the engraving is supposed to be? An orchid?

Yes, orchid. The other three are plum blossom, bamboo and chrysanthemum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Gentlemen).tingjunkie wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 2:24 pmPot #4: 90ml

Thanks! Mine is the first Ive seen that has the extra items below the orchid. I'm guessing it's supposed to be rocks and grass?.m. wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 3:37 pmYes, orchid. The other three are plum blossom, bamboo and chrysanthemum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Gentlemen).
