FS: LQER bat & peaches yixing teapot
Posted: Sun Jul 30, 2023 10:35 am
I've been hesitating letting this one go, but need some money.
- from late Qing / early R.O.C. period
- volume cca 500ml
- nice mid-fired zini clay (the actual color is brown and not at all orangey as the photos make it look like)
- smooth round body feels nicely to hold in hands
- small chip on the underside of the lid, otherwise perfect condition
- lid has a bit of sideways wiggle room (about 2-3mm), as is usual on pots of this era
- nice pour, just needs some care in controlling the tilt so that tea doesn't overflow over the brim
- the right wing of the bat on the lid got squished a bit in the making - possibly caries fingerprint of the maker
Price: $160 USD + shipping by Canada Post from Montreal (package weight about 800g)
