A modern pot looks like 150-180ml.
If you are looking to buy a real Factory 1 yixing for oolongs, Hau Ying Chen (who many of us buy oolong from in Taiwan) has several. You can private message him via his facebook page. His English is Not great, so use pictures to describe what you want, and ask him to share pictures of what he has too.

I publish this interesting bet by the craftsmen
with YiXing clay in this century, if any fellow
are interested here have this website:

Apparently those were very popular pieces because now all that's left is this statement

"Due to exceptional demand we are currently out of stock.
We are working hard to remedy the situation.
Please check back soon or contact us. "

150ml shi piao teapot with medium thickness walls and fast pour. The clay is dense and brings out the nuances in pu er tea nicely. I was told this is di cao qing clay and made in 70s-80s. I can't verify this so I would appreciate opinions!

I'm really not an expert, but it looks modern to me, 90's or later. I don't think I've seen a factory pot with a stamp under the handle.
Anyways, if it makes a good tea, the age doesn't matter.

I think a number of fang yuan pai period F1 have stamps on handles. Here's an example from EOT. https://www.essenceoftea.com/teaware/cl ... -1992.html

I own an authentic F1 from that period that has one too. I've read a number of times that it was done for pots by better craftsmen. No idea if that part accurate though.

I didn't assume this was from F1, but perhaps private production or other factory. I don't really know though.

I wasn't suggesting I thought it was either. It looks pretty modern to me.

It sounded like .m. was implying that they thought factory pots didn't have stamps on handles. So I was merely pointing out that they're fairly common on late 80s period F1 pots.

Stephen, that pot is definitely not 70s or 80s...looks 2010s to me! I believe there was no private production until the 90s and that is definitely not an F1 pot.

Yes, the description didn't really seem right. That's why I posted here. I was giving the source benefit of the doubt because I've had good experience with them in the past. It's a functional teapot anyway.

As long as price wasn't in line with vendors claim than authenticity doesn't matter too much since it's functional pot.

How does it brew? Looks like it isn't very porous.
