A newly arrived tea set w/ same exact cups and plates as my other set. The shui ping of this one is of much better quality though. 朱泥 Seal on handle. Serious damage to lid which is a bummer but totally worth paying for pro repair. More pictures.....

I believe this one is LQER zhuni but I could be mistaken.

Seal reads Fuji not Zhuni. I'd lean towards early ROC. Very nice pot! Lovely spout design. Makes all the difference to all the ugliness that happened afterwards...
Thanks! Oops I copy + pasted wrong characters. Am I mistaken that this one is zhuni? I vaguely remember seeing a post from Dr. Lu suggesting that most of these Fuji seal pots are zhuni but I can’t seem to find it.

To add: Fuji was a famous workshop, some of the founder generation of Yixing F1 worked there. The reason why F1 has Neiziwaihong and Neiwailinjiang is because Fuji was known for this method.

But as most things, they did it much better than F1.
Judging by the quality of this pot, I’m guessing those nzwh pots are pretty damn nice

They are ;)

It’s Zhuni alright. Not much Hongni from that period...

Not sure if this is how this thread is supposed to be used, but in the English-language Yixing books thread folks seemed interested in different versions of the "Three Friends of Winter" teapot design, and I think this is the most different one I've seen, a 2002 teapot by Luo Xiaoping.

You should find a master to repair your lid. No matter Kintsugi or metal staple repair. or just remove the glue inside the lid. it's very nice and rare pot.

@maple

I’m planning to reach out to Nissan to see the possible options. I’d most likely opt for silver staples on this one.

Curious, how does pricing on staples work more or less?

I think he charges around $60 per staple.

Coming along rather nicely, this pot… 60s Biandeng.

@Bok Nice :)

After my last stupid purchase this neiziweihong pot is a lot better... 8-) Sorry for the bad picture quality.

Something more humble for a change… Han Gentleman, from the 70s.

Needed a pot to entertain larger, thirsty parties in a place away from home. 300ml should do it :lol:

Made good experiences with this kind of clay and size in the past, can take on most teas I drink.

@Bok

Why are the letters on your pot so shiny? Is this another technique? They always look like this on my pots (sometimes more refined though):

(I know it's not the same pot, clay or quality)
