Thanks Bok.
All thiings being relative, actual weight is 88gr and below is a spout pic.
I'll do as you say, again thanks a lot for looking into it.
Thanks Bok.

Yes I was a bit surprised by these trace too, and it is said a hongni. They are only on the opening and inside of the lid lip ans a tiny one on the spout end.
I'd say for a 80ml it's heavy.
Would it be possible this is some kind of production/factory "rubbering " ?
Thanks for the replies.
I haven't the slightest idea what a "run-in trace" is other than a way of suggesting that it's imitating an F1 lid style, but if it's being sold as an F1 pot that doesn't really make sense.
I don’t think so. Have never seen this kind of obvious colour difference in all the 60 and 70s clays I’ve handled. Anyone else want to chime in? Any Hongni actually. Excluding the fake Biandeng.

I don’t think so.
Looks more like it’s Zini with Hongni coating. However, I have also seen this irregular clay on fakes...
I’m not so sure how different the workmanship was from 60 to 70s, but the way the inside is done on yours is quite different to my 60s Biandeng. But it might be nothing, have no 70s to compare here.
The handle does look a bit atypical though.
Otherwise as Mark said, cleaning it might be a good way to see if there’s more to it. Use sodium percarbonate if you have it.
While this looks reasonably 60s to my amateur eye, it tells us nothing about the original pot in question. Many vendors here in Taiwan have some decent pots sitting next to things I'd hopefully have the wisdom not to buy. Not suggesting that your pot is an example of that, just that we can't assume the vendor only sells legitimate pots because some of them are legitimate.

Hongni from that period should have uniform colour through to the core. No brown in there.
