Here is a pot that’s more obvious.

mm this one looks weird, not regular patch due to clay mixing... the pot looks modern...

+1 not from mixed clay. More like some strange specific dirt? (maybe the pot wasn't cleaned well) or strong tuhei at that spot.

Sorry about the link. Here is a photo of what I was seeking advice about. It's a vague curve line due to a higher concentrated red dots and elongated red clay mixed in from the duan ni.

no problem. Sorry, it's very hard to tell from this picture, I cannot quite see what it is.

It’s difficult to capture the pattern from my old iPhone camera. Maybe seeing your photos later will allow me to compare and contrast

Looks about right

Is that a hairline in the lid?

[olivierd]

Thanks.
No it’s not, it looks like a kind of thin scratch under the magnifying glass.
There’s a lot, but I mean a lot of tiny black dots. Like twice or three times as many compared to other pots of approx same period.

That’s not such a good sign then… could be a later period then, or F2

The scratch could also indicate that it’s coated. Such a thin mark seems unlikely to come from a tool. It seems a tad too shiny for Hongni, unless it’s patina.

Wow, a lot of black dots!!

Where did you buy it?

Yeah, that doesn’t look right for 70s. And that definitely looks like a crack in either clay, or glaze. Not a scratch.

Your guess ?

Does this have a 14 hole filter?
