FS: Factory 1 duanni small teapot
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2024 3:43 am
Factory 1, early/mid 1980's. Volume 90ml. Duanni clay with beautiful soft texture, and high level of craftsmanship. Duanni from F1 is relatively rare, much less common then hongni. It takes a bit of patience to raise it compared to other clays: this one is only partially raised and still fairly muting, but much less than when I got it, the texture also feels more silky and the color has darkened a tiny bit, it will continue to develop with use.
Condition: a small barely visible hairline crack at the flat top of the spout about 6mm long (due to the way the teapot is built it cannot spread to the rim), and a small firing/crafting crack at the side of the spout about 6mm long (also barely visible and not affecting use or integrity of the pot).
Price: $150 USD / 135 Euro + shipping from Czechia (cca $20 to most places).
