Yixing advice

[gregcss]

I have one of the YZG DCQ pots made by Shen Ye Qin. I've been using it with early 2000s sheng and am very happy with it; the tea is smooth, full, and sweet every time. It's almost effortless.

Others here know more than me but I'm very satisfied with my experience. I haven't used a Yinchen DCQ pot, so I can't offer a point of comparison there.

Thanks for the input

I have a one of their pots made by Shen Ye Qin, its a Jun De Hu using Dou Qing Ni clay. It is a very well made teapot. It is also quite beautiful as well as functional. I've been using it on shengs aged 5 years or more. I tested it out to see how much it mutes bitterness with a Fuhai ban zhang cake and it took the edge off while making it taste butter smooth.

I also have Shen Ye Qin’s dou qing ni and DCQ pots, and yinchen’s DCQ. The price reflects the craftsmanship. I like the dou qing ni pot for fresh sheng puerh (1-4 years). The DCQ pot is very versatile.

hey pantry, what's new? I find myself staring at that pot, sometimes it looks grey other times slightly green. I mentioned to them that they need some smaller 90-100ml pots.

Every time I go to zishaartgallery, the half english/half chinese site just throws me off so I never buy anything. I don't want to rely on google translate

I have a Dou Qing Ni in 100ml!! Love my pot but am actually the opposite —wanting something bigger Maybe you and I can trade haha

I think this little green pot makes the best fresh sheng puerh so far. Better than any other pots I have. I just wish it’s a tad bigger!

I'd like yours and mine . I'm going to test your theory and try some 2020 bohetang huangpian with it.

@gregcss YZG all day, in my opinion.

@klepto regarding ZAG, email them if you have questions! They are incredibly helpful.

I recently received two pots from my aunt in China. Pot 1 was purchased early 2000s during some chinese art show. Pot 2 was purchased much earlier, She doesn't remember when or the circumstances (she is in her 70s).

I think pot 1 was clearly wheel thrown. Maybe a cz.

I was wondering if i could get some expert thoughts on these pots. Thank you for your help!

Pot 1:












Pot 2:

@LeoFox 1 looks indeed like some sort of modern Chaozhou.

Pot 2 no older than late 80/90s in my opinion.

Any idea what kind of clay for pot2?

Looks a bit too thick walled for Yancha.

@LeoFox actually, I want to revise my assessment: if pot A is Chaozhou it does not look like pure Chaozhou clay, more like some modern clay that could be anything.

Same for pot B, what I meant by modern Hongni is that “who knows what’s in there, non descript red clay”
