What do you think about this pot?
Is this real?
Can it be cleaned?

Seems a bit strange that it is very dirty outside and spotless on the inside. Of course that might be possible, as it is somewhat protected, but the difference seems big.

Thanks...
DIrt is obviously from storage, but if it was stored with the lid on, then I guess its quite possible that the inside will be clean...

Handle, bottom rim and lid look off. It doesn't look naturally dirty either. I could be wrong but it looks fake to me.

Handle is too thick right?

I am far from an expert, but i have serious doubts about that pot being F1, and especially from that period. Workmanship seems wrong (Lid and Spout), and also very strange white substance making it difficult to see the clay.
But i might be wrong.

If you look closely at the spout, it seems like there is a glob of white on the inside. To me that would indicate that someone wiped something on the pot to make it look old.

Thanks. I saw very little pots from this sticker period and therefore not sure about all these details.

A number of pots from Japanese auctions are covered in white mystery dirt like this one. They're usually the ones that don't sell.

There is no reason for a vendor not to wipe the dust/dirt of the pot before selling it. That alone makes it look sketchy.
(And the lid is totally strange too).

Lid looks like it was taken off of a non F1 pot from 90's or newer

When this story of faking stickers actually started?
Were these pots also considered valuable in the 70s? were there a lot of fakes back then too?
or is it a new thing?

These pots were relatively cheap in the 70s. Demand was much lower. Most of the fakes are from the 90s and after.

And there is a strange contrast as well with the dirty “old looking” pot and the brand new red string... it’s not been cleaned, but it’s been added a new string...
