I'm in search of good, authentic Yixing / Nixing Teapots.
Have found some that I like (at least the look and capacity) on https://f1pot.com/en/
but most of them are sold, so there is not much to choose from.

I've also found some teapots on teasenz.com, chawangshop.com, and mudandleaves.com.

Namely:
Di Cao Qing Clay Yixing Teapot - Jing Lan Hu by Wu Hong Cai 270 ml (9 oz)
https://www.teasenz.com/di-cao-qing-ni- ... u-hong-cai

Yixing Shi Piao Hu Teapot - Hei Jin Sha Clay Teapot 220ml
https://www.teasenz.com/shi-piao-hei-jin-sha-hu

Da Hong Pao Clay Teapot - Fang Gu Hu by Artist Wang 200 ml (6.7 oz)
https://www.teasenz.com/fang-gu

Premium Zhu Ni Yixing Teapot with Handle, Ti Liang Hu 180 ml
https://www.teasenz.com/ti-liang-hu


Nixing Teapot "Bird and bamboo" 200cc
https://www.chawangshop.com/tea-hardwar ... 180cc.html

Nixing Teapot "Bird and flower 2" 200ml
https://www.chawangshop.com/tea-hardwar ... ml-19.html


Shuiping Nixing Teapot with Carvings of a Landscape Li Changquan, 黎昌权刻绘壶 175ml
https://mudandleaves.com/collections/te ... 8F%B7175ml

Wood Fired Julunzhu Dicaoqing Yixing Teapot with Diancai Painting 点彩柴烧底槽青巨轮珠, 150ml
https://mudandleaves.com/collections/te ... 1070819547

Lao Zini HuangYingchun Xishi Yixing Teapot, 老紫泥黄寅春款西施,130ml
https://mudandleaves.com/collections/te ... 6%BD-120ml


Can theses websites be trusted?
Are those teapots authentic?
Are they any good?

Any thoughts about these teapots would be much appreciated.

I suppose you don't have tons of experience with Yixing/Nixing wares yet in light of which, the best advice is to stay put and study Yixing topic here carefully until you get some sense of the matter. You'd get some of your questions answered there as well. Without proper studying the topic before hand you'd be doomed to squander a lump on tuition pots. Good luck!

With all of these, if you ever decided to sell the pot, their realistic resell value is only about 50% of the original price (in some cases even a bit less).

i don't know much about teasenz, but i know for sure the other two are reputable. i know they won't straight-up rip you off or anything.

i'm not really into the pots you linked, but it's personal taste. i've also never tried a nixing pot.

they all look like authentic, modern pots that you could safely use for tea.
