Nice, this would be my dream pot, but unfortunately timing is quite bad for a purchase! I've been ogling that shape for a while, and generally prefer zini anyway.
Bok, may I ask about the shape? Lü's book lists it as a kind of a gourd/pomelo shape, and not as Xishi. I'm pretty sure I've seen that referred to as "early Xishi" or something like that on some threads..

I'll take that kind sir.
