FS: Three Yixing teapots

[eon-pu]

Hey all,

I have been cleaning up my tearoom and facing some hard decisions. Consequently, the three pots below are looking to get acquainted with new owners. All are wonderful vessels, lovingly cared for. They will be shipped Priority Mail from Minnesota and I will pick up the price of postage. Please see the photos below for details. I will be happy to answer any questions as best I can.

Thank you Victoria, I was wondering why I was having trouble seeing the actual images. Here is another try, seeing that I can no longer edit the original post.

POT #1, 100ml, $200

Shi Fei 史飞行 (b. 1970), fully hand made zini stone dipper (石瓢), eight hole filter. NB! There are two tiny chips on the lid's inner rim, hence the price reduction. Comes with box and certificate under Jingdian Tao Fang (经典陶坊)

POT #2, 50ml, $125

Small zini xi shi (西施) with delicate features. I cannot place the stamps on this one but my guess is it was crafted in the early 2000s. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can identify it with more accuracy. But it is a beautiful work with very fine detail.

That roubian poses some questions

I appreciate the comment but would you care to voice the questions posed to you by the rou bian?

I will happily correct any issues in the description or dating I may have overlooked. But I cannot do so without knowing where the problem lies.

What i was pointing to is that the pot differs from what i would expect a green label roubian to look like in almost every aspect. This makes me think it's a modern pot (90s or later). Now, i don't have any expertise in this, nor do i enjoy saying it, but i voice my concern and it's on anybody to make their informed opinion.
The issues:
- the shape: the upper rim, the way the base is rounded, the lid looks to be almost completely flat, the knob sitting on a little platform
- the crafting of the interior base
- the thickness of the spout
- potentially the seal - there is a huge number of seals used during green label period, but after a quick look at the known common examples i don't see it among them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/teapot2 ... 864225479/

@eon-pu, i took the liberty of sprucing up your listing. hope that's ok and lmk if it needs to be changed or whatever.

The roubian does seem interesting. The inner base has 太阳线 (rough translate to tool marks sun light lines). Here is an example of a roubian from a vendor many of you know:
