Is their reputation good? I can find nothing
Western facing F1 vendors list
Are you the same Bok from instagram? If so you and I just had a lovely chat about that ROC pot of yours. Absolutely made my night, even if I didn't end up buying.

Agree w/ BOK on his pots. He offers some harder to find pots.

These are the traditional antique-collectors; they have their own infrastructure a bit like art-collectors. They are the people bidding on Christie's Yixing pot collections: https://www.christies.com/yixing/

Thanks for the link. The two videos were enjoyable to watch, especially the Hopper Chop Suey painting, with the lone yixing pot on the table. I hadn't noticed it in detail before. Not just interesting an American artist would depict it, but a fascinating history of yixing's place in Western culture.

Agree with @Bok... Pots appear authentic and price is about right in relations to his grading scale. Good quality grade A clay with good workmanship without any defects are never cheap but always a joy to own and use.
Cheers!
I bought one 70s HQSN of grade C from him and I really love it. Previously I thought the stuff about 70s clay is mostly bullshit, but I'm a believer now. Shipping, packing and communication were very good and quick too.
He sells f1 teapots too, but in HKD:

It's the same moody guy. The f1pot page is only for local buyers he told me...Dogen wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 9:43 amHe sells f1 teapots too, but in HKD:

Hi, I’ve read quite a bit on this forum and I know ZAG is recommended but the site is not secure. Does anyone know if it has always been that way?
I have been hunting for a new pot and ZAG definitely has the most comprehensive collection I have seen (on sites I can navigate) but being non-secure has me hesitant. I know you don’t input credit card info there, but still...

I assume (but can't remember) that it's always been that way. I don't think it's a particularly 'modern' website.Sleepy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 3:31 pmHi, I’ve read quite a bit on this forum and I know ZAG is recommended but the site is not secure. Does anyone know if it has always been that way?

I've had no issues with them. They're not cheap, but that's to be expected. Be mindful of things like taxes and duties relevant to your location as well.
That said, I've only ever dealt with them by email, using the website to see what they have. I suggest doing the same, even if your pot has a listed price.
(and by "new pot", I assume you mean "new old pot" - presumably, there are other places for brand-new pots, but they might have some too)

I don't know about the website but I purchased a pot in store there and they are legit, so I would not hesitate to deal with them, be it via email or whatever if you are not travelling to SG any time soon.Sleepy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 3:31 pmHi, I’ve read quite a bit on this forum and I know ZAG is recommended but the site is not secure.
