@Bok... we have to be consistent.... We help each other ease the burden of decision making... to empty your account or not is still within control of the buyer.....




*ppssttt..... what control??*.... whispers to @Bok :twisted: :twisted: :lol: :lol:

I too have an 80s F1 duanni pot. Although I haven't used it much (it's 65 ml, a bit too small for my liking) and therefore cannot comment on how its patina will develop, I do like the clay which seems less muting than I had expected. I've used it for red teas with very satisfying results.

The new pot is even smaller than I thought and it does not drip :) the clay is Hongni and it has many black dots

Is that lid knob off-centre? Whole pot in combination with seal looks like 80s or later to me.

Yeah, it's a bit off-center. Okay, thanks, I thought that the pot would be from the 70's, but I don't have that much experience. In about 8 to 10 hours I'll post some photos in the Facebook group. The clay looks nice :) and it's hard to get those small factory pots in the West. So I'll definitely keep this one.

Hard to say... since Neiwailinhong is pretty rare I think it's Hongni. I will take another look at it when I am home and compare it to my confirmed Hongni pots.

Actually pretty easy to say, show us more images of inside lid and body and we can tell you for sure!
There are 1000s if not 100000 of NWLJ out there, not rare at all. Nice ones are rare.

Actually it looks a bit too shiny to be pure Hongni, at least on your images. That leaves two possibilities: Neiwailinjiang, or much later clay 90-2000s and or not F1.

Okay :) I thought that nzwh would be very common and nwlj quite rare.

The photo was taken in direct sunlight. I did not have time to set up a lightbox this morning.
