Idiots boil their teapot.

I like this part

Nice write-up as usual, recommended reading for anyone interested in Yixing.

I also enjoyed reading your post. It confirmed my reluctance to buy a yixing pot, given that it's almost impossible to verify the clay. My next pot will probably be from Hojo or Inge Nielsen.

I look forward to hearing about your trip to Jingdezhen. Maybe you can explain why it's so hard to find small porcelain teapots.
