I've had green oolongs made in this very teapot. Can confirm vintage duanni is pretty fantastic and does not have to be very muting.

Wow, Beautiful puffy pot(s). Was the body of the duanni teapot you used also fairly thin?

Pretty pots! I imagine you had side by side comparison with a gaiwan? Interesting
I have encountered old duanni that wasn't very muting, but it looked a bit different from that one... I would expect that one to be muting, but who knows. It looks heavily used, so it might have to do with that. It would be interesting to have a blind comparison, placebo effect is powerful. If they served me tea in a Shi Dabin I am sure I'd think it's amazing regardless of how it comes out

No side by side, and the session was many years ago, but I just remember being shocked at how the pot handled a green TGY. It left a whole lot in the upper notes and aromas.

Better be amazing! These pots probably cost an arm and a leg at least!
I do have a dislike for standard shuiping shapes, but the ones from ROC and earlier are beautiful!
