NP. This is common style pot from 80’s era. Size and clay would work well for shu or liu bao.

@DailyTX looks like some sort of Duanni, very grainy. I would clean it with Sodium Percarbonate to see what is underneath all the grime. Is it very small? That would partially explain the rough look of the workmanship.Chop is likely just the name of the potter. If you can find someone who can decipher the characters you can look up if the person is listed in the Yixing directory. Looks modern to me.

It is a tiny little pot that measure about 2.25 inches tall and 3 inches wide from tip of spout to the edge of handle. It has very thin wall, and can hold about 40-50 ml water. I was looking to decipher the chop on the bottom hoping to figure out some clues. Another shelf mystery
Hi I have this teapot, about 120ml, that I am not sure what to think about. It is fairly old, bought from japan, came in an old wooden box, cushioned with what seems like raw cotton. I thought it is woodfired but it more seems like some kind of coating on the outside. Have you seen anything like that? nay ideas if ok to drink from it. It came quite used, so someone was brewing tea in it for quite a time. Than you

It looks like it might have been a bit overfired/burnt in the kiln. If you can post a few more pictures: base, inside, underside of the lid from a different angle, perhaps somebody will be able to say more about it.lopin wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 8:08 amHi I have this teapot, about 120ml, that I am not sure what to think about.

@lopin not over fired or burnt, but rather fired without the protective case that Yixing is normally fired with to get an even colour. A bit too even to be a case of firing mistake, hence probably not really old as this was not done on purpose in the old days. Also style looks new-ish to me. 80s upwards to now. See any lines inside the pot that might indicate wheel thrown, rather than built?
i will be home after weekend so adding only older photos where i freshly cleaned the pot so it is wet inside
thanks a lot for your help.

The teapot looks to be 90's or newer. I can't figure out from the photos whats going on on the surface, but now it almost looks to me like it has been artificially stained with something both outside and inside? (If that is the case, you might have to use a sodium percarbonate or a bleach or whatever it takes to clean it.)
Will take better pictures once back home end of the week but inner was just stained with heavy use. Outside seem like coated with something metalic/violet. Thanks for helping me to solve this.m. wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 2:08 pmThe teapot looks to be 90's or newer.
