** Hi everyone, thank you again for your support and thoughts, I've currently stopped the my first round of sales of the pots till further notice. Will be consolidating , reorganising and adding info and pics. Status of pots and prices will be updated below for transparency and record. Thank you!! **

Hi everyone. I have been hoarding dad's pots for quite a few years after he passed. Was planning to open a tea art house gallery of sorts but its gotten way out of hand especially with my add !! Have stopped working and decided to focus more on exploring my art and simplifying things.

My knowledge is way too low and its a bit overwhelming. would greatly appreciate any advice, help or interest in the pots. Please let me know how real or fake they are !! any assistance is a great help.

I have not gotten around to measuring cc or flow yet. Will start posting pictures here, I have not gotten around to cleaning and using all of them yet, honestly i don't even know where to start.

Would be very happy if they were useful to others and i can find a home for some.
Thanks much! LK.

Please post the prices. I believe that is part of the forum rules. [smile]

[teamakers.art]

Hello baiso! Thank you so much for replying. I was going to give up already. The reason i haven't posted prices is that i dont know how to price them. I would appreciate any help or offers from anyone.

I've read many threads and its evident that most members on here are friends and good people, and trust your fair opinions!. As i've mentioned dad was a strange collector before he passed and did not pass on any knowledge. If anyone would like to see a few more teapots do let me know.

Thank you!

Hi, I think this teapot on pic's not very expensive and rare. Its yixing clay, but its simple and not rare too. This four figure under cap may be attribute of First yixing factory, although i dont sure about it.
Teapot have same sharps insade and, ganeral, made a little messy. I think it manufactured by junior ceramist may be in 1980-1990 years.

[teamakers.art]

@kovee thank you for your thoughts! could you let me know how to price it?

I understand that it does take time effort and knowledge to understand the pots that i have and it alot to ask for free.

If there is anyone out there who has a bit of time to look at my pots, i'd be very happy to compensate with some pots.
Hoping that there are some that are worth your time

03. Sorry a bit dirty havent cleaned. Will get around to it!

[Koveee]

I think you can publish all you teapots in this topic or send them to me on this forum and i can help you to find true cost of teapots.
But my opinion that true cost of these 2 teapots its about 20-50 $ and only besause thereof, that they made by old yixing glay(You can read about it in internet ). Howewer work accuracy of these pots is bad and it redusing total cost. May be you now then they manufactured?
I saw third pot its more better than first and second. Also you neeed to search signature under pots in China web. If you will know who is creater of pot it can rise price of pot in several times.

thank you again @Koveee

O4. Wierd kink. Worthless?

They don’t look too bad actually, nice and simple shapes. As far as the can see, no hidden treasures, but also far from being trash.

You are not trying any of these, to see what they do with your teas?

[teamakers.art]

Thank you @Bok. Happy to hear that they are not that terrible, hidden treasures would definitely be super, not getting my hopes up haha. I just moved still unpacking and using bigger pots for my daily tea. Honestly I have not settled down enough to start taste tasting these pots am still trying to get clean them without breaking anything with my clumsy hands.

05. Eggy half stamp. Sorry for the non accurate colour, fluorescent night shots.

@teamakers.art i think i need to rephrase my massage. Generally it is based on first teapot and it is poorer then others.(in my opinion). But others is very good for old pots!
It is typical for 1980-1990 pots be worse made then nowadays teapots, but zisha( its name of glay of majority these pots) in this pots is superb quality). You can see it for particles of sand and other particles in glay. Its indication of good glay. Also good glay should glittering like after polishing.
From what i see all of these pots are full-hand or half-hand. I believe my comments help you) if you have some questions you can write to me.

@teamakers.art its fantastic collection i would happy if you publish more pictures)
