Thank you!

TeaTotaling nice pot. Chadrinkincat has the same pot, but i think his is green label if not mistaken.

Cheers!

Thanks! I haven’t committed to this one just yet. I have another red pot I might choose over this one. It is certainly very nice though. I would be curious to hear howChadrinkincat likes it!

I use mine for aged oolong because it brings out aged flavor while smithing out roughness of cheap tea. I tried it with young sheng too but it didn’t seem like good match. It’s a pretty drippy pot so functions more like a 120-150ml pot.

Thank you for the helpful insight! I am reconsidering my decision on this aforementioned pot. I am leaning toward this other 80's Duanni. I like the unique craftsmanship. I was thinking it would possibly make a good Shou or Red/Black Tea pot. Although any final decision would require further investigation and experimentation.

Anyone use 80's Duanni for Shou or Red/Black Tea? Also, anyone familiar with functionality of this style of pot?

Who has experience with old red clay (Late Qing/Early Republic)? Just from the picture, this looks to be Hongni more so than Zhuni, but I could be wrong. I'll yield to those with more expertise. I like the simplicity and curves of this pot, and I might add it to my final trio that's in the works.

I was considering inquiring about this one too. Might be a good yancha pot

Brilliant! It's 200ml, a bit big for those higher end Cliff Teas, although no need to fill to the brim. I do have a 50ml Pan Hu Zini I was considering for Wuyi. I was leaning more toward Liu Bao for this one. Testing and tasting would be the only way to know for sure. There is a profound enjoyment to be had in theorizing, and anticipating.

@TeaTotaling
Weird for some reason I was thinking this one was around 120ml.

Do you know the price on this one?

This is a Late Qing/Early Republic offering. There are a few that look quite similar. This is $1,763.94 to be exact.

Speaking of Zisha Art Gallery... missing lid, small chips... $887. Seriously? Or is there something special about this jar I don't see?

It's Mid Qing.

Wouldn't the missing lid be a dealbreaker? And why is this jar so expensive and my jar isn't? Sometimes I simply don't get it.

It's "Proven" to be Mid Qing? From a Trusted source?

All right, then. It's still weird in my opinion since you cannot even use this jar, and with teapots it would be a dealbreaker for most people. I'd never spend so much money on this.

Good sir, have you made any purchases from the fine folks at ZAG? Specifically in the Yixing Teapot Department? If so, thoughts??
