I think I like the pot more with the repaired lid than the before pictures. It’s more……interesting.
Can I ask, what is the history? I’m very new to pots and relatively new to tea. I’d love to understand better why this beauty fetches the price it does.

A lot of factors come into play for a price of an antique teapot like this:
First of all it’s more than a hundred years old!
Secondly, antique Zhuni is the most sought after clay - while it’s certainly not rare. Different periods of old times had different clay compositions.
Third, it’s from a popular workshop, sought after by collectors, as the craftsmanship is/can be better than from other companies.
