Due to the bad influence of certain people
I got my first Zhuni teapot... opportunity arose, price was pretty good, so I had no good excuse other than owning too many pots! For the sake of science I needed a Zhuni pot to compare with other clays, ähem...
It does not seem to be a pure Zhuni, too reddish for that and some tiny grains of other clay seem to be blended in. Some have suggested it might be a blend with high quality hongni. Other factors indicate it is a 90s pot. Clay, whatever it is, seems very good quality, workmanship is excellent.
From first use it performs as I would have expected a Zhuni to perform. Gathering a lovely shine very quickly and it sings when poured over with boiling water, if you know what I mean.
