Yes.... indeed. I'm still learning. TQ for sharing your treasured gem with us. It's indeed an eye opener.helotea wrote: āWed Aug 24, 2022 9:38 pmIjust saw this post,OCTO wrote: āMon Dec 20, 2021 12:01 amhelotea
What an awesome name to bring up here!!....
My humble 2cents worth..... GJZ is a highly revered master in the Yixing sphere. I strongly suggest you get it certified by a Yixing historian!! None of us here have adequate credentials to come to a conclusive certainty that your pot is indeed made by GJZ. Each Yixing Master from that era and of that level of mastery have their very own unique signature strokes that sets them apart from the rest.
You might have a true gem in your hands... I would even pay a good sum to get it verified. If the conclusion is positive, get it insured ... hahahaha..... It's easily a 6 figure pot!
Without a conclusive certainty, I'm sorry to say, each GJZ pot will almost always be seen as a replica or a sad attempt to replicate the Master's craft. Before any conclusion is achieved, I stand by my 2cents.... as the saying goes..... if it's too unbelievably good to be true, it's too good to be true.
I concur with steanze and Bok... hope our brutal sincerity doesn't dent your passion in joining us in the rabbit hole. It's a whole lot of fun here.
Cheers!!
