That's probably about as good a description of learning about Yixing pots and clay as I've heard so far.Darbotek wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 10:44 amI can easily find 3-4 websites about Japanese potters and their signatures, but trying to find info about Yixing and the stamps felt more like trying to find a rare LP in a dusty, cluttered record shop where 75% of the stacks are just copies of Rumors and Dark Side of The Moon. Confusing and overwhelming lol.
I don't own any NZWH pots, but I have heard that they pick up a shine rather quickly, so it'll be interesting to see how yours develops with use.
Here's a few different zini clays, just as a very general illustration of the colours and shades that you can get.
I think that zini is under-rated compared to hongni and zhuni. There's lots of fun to be had with it.
