1- Shimizu Ken reduction fired Nosaka clay small kyusu from Hojo. Extremely precise craftsmanship that is a joy to use, no drip pouring. Noticeable smoothening effect on teas. Perfect condition (just needs some cleaning).

2- Black xishi yixing teapot, one of the very early productions of Factory 2 in early 80s. Somewhat rare and collectible with an iconic design. According to Teaism only one batch of this larger size (160ml) was produced. The craftmanship leaves a quite a bit to be desired, but that is part of the utilitarian charm of the teapots from F2; however the pour is fast, and lid fit reasonably good as well. Small chip on the interior of the lid.

3- Large Factory 1 yixing pot, late 70s (green label era). Beautiful Qingshuini clay, about 600ml (perfect for puerh and heicha). Somewhat less common model, "bamboo drum shape". NOS condition.

4- Small Neizwaihong (zini clay coated on the exterior in hongni) Factory 1 shuiping teapot from early 80s (green label period), 60ml. The lid is slightly darker than the body due to thinner layer of the hongni coating. Great little working pot.

8- Vintage/antique (?) tokoname (?) shudei kyusu. Tiny, 30-40ml. More of a curiosity, but functional.

9- Vintage nixing cup. Very nice clay, smooth with a grainy structure, somewhat reminiscing of yixing zini.
(Teahabitat sells a set of those, IMHO it is neither early ROC nor yixing, but I can see how it can be mistaken for it)

Some very reasonable prices here.
Tempted by the large QSN pot. Were it not for the fact that I would be murdered by my better half if I acquired another pot (and a 600ml one will be hard to hide) I'd probably not be able to resist.

@Balthazar I was gonna say: impulse buy first, deal with the consequences later
But finally the QSN has been reserved, and so has been the Ken Shimizu.
