Clay looks similar to this one:

But with more sexy freckles.

I take that as a compliment. I think the darker Zini makes the Duanni pop more on this one. It looks like delicious chocolate. My other tiaosha excels with roasted Oolong of any kind.

Hi Bok! I can't message you (probably because I'm a new member?), but I was wondering if you could shoot me message. You mentioned earlier in your thread that you would be wiling to source pots from Qing/ROC for people. Could we possibly discuss this?

Thank you; I really enjoy your posts in the yixing threads, super informative.

For sure, thanks for letting me know. I'll interact on some of the other forums a bit, in that case.

Few things that will be popping up soon:

A F1 Green label, so called apple-shape teapot, Neiwailinjiang(Zini inside-outside-coated with Hongni), in a little over 120ml.

And another heart sutra Julunzhu from the Qing/ROC period. This one will be relatively affordable as it has been repaired in the past with quite a few staples and has a chunk missing. Pictures of this one will follow after clean-up...

If I can comment on the apple pot. It's the twin of my work-horse puer pot and I love it!

Thanks! Also worth mentioning <again> that this kind of Neiwailinjiang gathers patina very fast and beautifully. Property-wise it performs closer to Hongni, due to the inside coating, contrarily to a simple Neiziwaihong which is essentially a Zini.

If anyone wanted to go sister-/brotherly-brewing tea with Karma – this is your chance :mrgreen:

I'll also say that in my experience NWLJ/NWLH patina has an interesting property of how sometimes it looks redder and sometimes a deeper purple. I suspect that this is some property of light color and the temperature of the pot.

Update: JLZ released, will be available soon. A sort of budget option for the ones who do not mind a stapled pot 8-)

@Bok
It seems some antique JLZ have very standard Chinese characters of the heart sutra like the one you have while others look like cursive Chinese such as this one:
https://teaswelike.com/product/ju-lun-zhu-carved-zini/
Any idea on the rationale behind these two types of calligraphy?
