Nice score! Where did you find this pot? Looks very similar to one I saw on auction recently.
@Chadrinkincat
From a tea/yixing shop in Canada. Definitely not the one on auction you saw, could be the same batch tho ;) , tiehuaxuan imported a lot of pots to Japan

@DailyTX must be The Chinese Tea Shop? One of the few having antiques on offer in the West. As far as I can tell their pots look legit.

By the way, saw your awesome prize, the 60s hongni shuiping, from your hunt, do those 60s hongni shuipings come in a bigger size like 120-150 ml? Just curious...

Yes, the one I have on sale is the smallest size, there are larger ones as well. More expensive though.
I know for sure of 6-cup size, so that would be 120ml. The other measurements I let others comment, concentrating my learning efforts more on the older pots these days :mrgreen:

There are 120ml and 160ml. They can easily cost $700+

@steanze
Thank you for the pricing info. If I encountered one, I have an idea on the cost

A recent addition of mine. A modern zhuni pot, 85ml, high fired, and extremely thin. Performance is great for most teas but teas where fragrance is important are probably best suited to the pot. I use it for most teas, giving it a boiling water rinse afterwards, not dedicating it. Improves mouthfeel giving the tea a luscious texture. Very happy with this pot. Btw, these pictures are not mine, but taken by the previous owner.

Very nice pot!
It is a shame how rare it's to find a small, modern yixing pot these days... Heard that most in china don't like them, thus they're not made.
A <60ml zhuni teapot would be just a sublime find.... I'll have to do with my chaozhou pot, which isn't yixing, but works fine most of the time.

I would say finding them is not the issue, paying for them is! Everything can be commissioned if you have the funds :)

Rather than Chaozhou, thin hongni is a good alternative to Zhuni. Most modern Zhuni is hongni anyways (also, technically Zhuni is the top layer of Hongni).

Nice find @Teachronicles. I also have a thin walled modern zhuni that I can use with many teas since the fired clay is so tight. Was going to say I really like the cloth in the picture, but I see it isn’t yours, oh well.

I believe that was the case with this pot, commissioned by someone in east Asia. I'm lucky to have befriended that person over social media, leading to me eventually getting this pot.
