Do you recognize the age, maker and clay type of this teapot? 130ml. 11s pour. I haven't worked out a tea pairing yet.

Thank you steanze! What do you think of the clay type (type of zini) and quality? The pics are a little pixelated from the resize, but mostly accurate. And what features indicate that it's post 2000s?
Another teapot that I need help identifying. Do you recognize the age and maker of this 180ml ba le shui ping?
The pics are little pixelated, color is accurate.

It's not the maker's stamp, it just means "China Yixing" which was a type of seal commonly used during F1. But the details of the seal are different from the real F1 seal.
What I meant to ask was, if someone made a replica why not use the same "china yixing" seal as F1 rather than a different version? I'm just trying to understand how this pot fits into the categories of original F1, intentional replicas, intentional fakes, and pots made in classic styles. Thanks!
I see! That's because they did not have the original seals at hand, and they thought that a sufficient number of people would not notice the difference. Terminology can be a bit subjective, I'd call this an intentional replica, it's trying to be passed for an F1 pot, but it's made of actual Yixing clay. It should make good tea.Stephen wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2017 4:31 pmWhat I meant to ask was, if someone made a replica why not use the same "china yixing" seal as F1 rather than a different version?
