I've had green oolongs made in this very teapot. Can confirm vintage duanni is pretty fantastic and does not have to be very muting.

Duanni clay - underrated clay?
Wow, Beautiful puffy pot(s). Was the body of the duanni teapot you used also fairly thin?tingjunkie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:22 amI've had green oolongs made in this very teapot. Can confirm vintage duanni is pretty fantastic and does not have to be very muting.

Pretty pots! I imagine you had side by side comparison with a gaiwan? Interestingtingjunkie wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:22 amI've had green oolongs made in this very teapot. Can confirm vintage duanni is pretty fantastic and does not have to be very muting.

I have encountered old duanni that wasn't very muting, but it looked a bit different from that one... I would expect that one to be muting, but who knows. It looks heavily used, so it might have to do with that. It would be interesting to have a blind comparison, placebo effect is powerful. If they served me tea in a Shi Dabin I am sure I'd think it's amazing regardless of how it comes out

No side by side, and the session was many years ago, but I just remember being shocked at how the pot handled a green TGY. It left a whole lot in the upper notes and aromas.steanze wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 9:13 pmPretty pots! I imagine you had side by side comparison with a gaiwan? Interesting

Better be amazing! These pots probably cost an arm and a leg at least!
I do have a dislike for standard shuiping shapes, but the ones from ROC and earlier are beautiful!
