Where are the other Factories?
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:23 am
Is it my limited perception or do people only mention Yixing factories 1, 2 and 5? What about 3 and 4? Can not find any mention of it when doing a basic google search.
Cheers for that!Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:55 pmslightly off topic but here is a link to an F2 catalog for anyone interested. I'm guessing there is also one floating around for f3-5.

I just got a vintage shui ping today with same bottom stamp. I suspected mine was f2. Though I've seen this mark attributed to f1 and f2.Stephen wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 2:18 pmthanks for posting this. i have an odd teapot that someone said was f2 and there it is in the catalog.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:55 pmslightly off topic but here is a link to an F2 catalog for anyone interested.

Stamp just says Zhongguo Yixing, China Yixing. Apart from that as far as I understood, the F2 stamps are often more crude and/or sloppily applied.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 2:53 pmI just got a vintage shui ping today with same bottom stamp.

Yes, but this version as far as I can tell isn't commonly found on f1. Only f1 ive seen it on was a single fb post. All others were on F2 pots and even those were limited.Bok wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 7:05 pmStamp just says Zhongguo Yixing, China Yixing.

That's right, that's not usually found in F1. Just wanted to make sure what you were pointing out.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:40 pm
