1990s teapot question

[tolean]

Hello teamsters i have a question, maybe you can help me. I found a teapot and i am thinking to buy it. Still i would like to hear your opinion. Not sure if on this forum is forbidden to discuss prices, if not please tell me if this teapot is worth 30$ .
There is no information about it from seller and it's second hand on a site with second hand products so no store is questioned here. I asked on other forums and found out the possible master name:1990s Gao Hongfen.
I also found a teapot from this master on taobao as a reference:
https://world.taobao.com/item/wap/54883 ... 1af4NnjaDk

They look similar, still the found one looks worse in my opinion, but i am not good at understanding pots/clays from 90'.

Any opinion is welcomed.
Thank you!
I will attach all available photos.

Think for 30$ it’s a risk worth taking. Go go for it you like it!

I'm not an expert on old teapots , but I personally wouldn't pay 1600 CNY for that and probably not even 30$.
( that's because not my type , but of course individual opinion ) . I can imagine if real 90's it would have some collector value and from what I know in China it would be probably another "0" to that TB price
For some reason , this teapot is not listed on Chinese TB . In anyhow, do not expect to buy something " I've got lucky " on TB ;-D

Seems to be.

(I have no idea about the authenticity question though.)

Yeah, thank you, i also found it ( link in first post) but quality looks lower and there is no stamp under the lid on the one that i found. Still same stamp under teapot.

What do you think of clay and execution?

Yeah, I was thinking "Chinese TB" (as opposed to the "global version" of the site).

I'm afraid I'm not qualified to answer your questions, but a price of $30 has the combined qualities of suggesting both that it's likely to not be what it presents itself as but also that it's not the most dangerously gamble to engage in...

Buying Yixing pottery online is a gamble. It's important to ask yourself what the purpose you would like to accomplish by having this teapot. Personally, I have bought and kept low cost pots for learning purpose, think of it as buying a 3d learning model that expands your knowledge about the advancement of fake yixing if you live in a location where accessing yixing pottery in person is limited.

Yeah, here it's pretty limited. Thanks, good point ! The problem here is that ppl don't really drink tea this way so I will not be able to sell it even for the same money because there is no ,,market,, so i am getting too many of them for me and my needs. Still i want more if them to touch, smell, brew them))
