Chinese New Year and I’ve been staring at a shelf full of Zini pots from the 80s I have absolutely no use for...

So here’s a first interest check if anyone would be interested, before I measure them out and go into specifics.

Some are in mint condition, others heavily used (cleaned now) and with a few chinks here and there.

All F1 except one that seems more like F2

Out the moment, will measure later, my guess around 100ish. If you have the F1 catalogues it is in there.

Seal as attached.

This one seems to be the most hot, you are the second to inquire in a matter of minutes!

I was surprised myself how much fit even in the smaller ones! Those decorative pots are often large. Large size is not so bad for puerh and larger tea gatherings ;)
