Thanks. The clay is Di Cao Qing and it's 130ml. I got it from Yann Zisha Gallery.TeaTotaling wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 11:11 amGreat pot, looks good! Reminds me of my Avatar pot, in a way.
What type of clay, how many ML's, where did you acquire it???
Yixing
That's interesting as I have one coming from them too, using aged DCQ and a Pao Gua Hu shape. I love those yixing teapots with the round belly on them.gregcss wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 11:53 amThanks.

Found this one our resident tea guru created for a bit of fun. His automotive design background had a big influence in this unique shape. One hand operation with this one is sublime
ROC ZhuNi 3Leg ShuiPing getting a new lease of life. Repurposing tea ware is a very common practice for us here. More photos when the project is completed!...

I got the same pot from YZG and have been using it as my only pot during an extended time away from the rest of my teapot collection. Mine holds about 125ml with 14s pour time. Despite the slow pour, gotta say the pot has served me wonderfully. DCQ brews all types of teas very well!klepto wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 2:49 amThat's interesting as I have one coming from them too, using aged DCQ and a Pao Gua Hu shape.

I have a couple yixing pots from the 80-90’s that I use with Shou. One is more porous/heavier and the other pretty much the opposite. It’s fun experimenting with the different Shou teas I have in the pots and also with a porcelain Gaiwan. After playing around for the last 4-6 months (maybe 8 different teas) I’ve come to note the following:
- with Shou that is more harsh (usually less expensive, like .10-.15/g) the heavier yixing works best as it takes away those tasting notes that would otherwise grab at the back of the throat (as it does when brewed in the Gaiwan)
- the better Shou I have is .50/g and both yixing pots mute the full flavour profile of this really enjoyable tea. The lighter and less porous pot is better with it than the other pot, but The Gaiwan shines with this tea as I’m getting full flavours from start to finish, and as the tea is an aged Shou it’s very smooth but equally robust

You still looking for a pot like this? Looks like it might be a late 80’s version w/ standard zini. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 4423284339

Hello, i have these two pots wich are made of what i think is dcq.
However both of these pots are filed in the hole on the lid.
Both of these pots exhibit different color of the clay inside, mainly greyish.
This phenomenom is really similar to this pot made from dcq on EoT,

I will also post the image of a hongni 60-70 pot that i got from Emmets, exhibiting the same phenomenon.
Is this normal or i am looking at pots "Covered in clay" neiziweihong style?
Thanks in advance to any expert that will anwser my question!

@Bac It is common that the clay on the inside, e.g. on a chip, has a slightly different color than on the surface. In case of zini it is usually a bit darker and more grey than brown. Not sure about the explanation, but it's kind of to be expected that the firing will happen slightly differently on the surface (could be contact with atmosphere in the kiln, surface tension, cooling process, etc... i don't know).
(It could also have to do with burnishing the raw pot...)
