@Chadrinkincat: do we get to see any photos of the base, if you don't mind my asking? I always want to absorb more knowledge about pre-factory pots...

Here’s a few more. It has typical rough interior finishing and a 6c seal. No lid or handle seals. Also turns out this one is 80ml and weights 63g.

Thanks, glad you like it. Proportions feel well balanced. Lid fit isn’t too bad either, not too loose or too tight.Youzi wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 12:45 amThat looks as good as a modern pot. Very nice find. Maybe one of the best ROC SPs, I've seen shared around here.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 10:18 pmI just got this ROC pot which came as a set. Elegant lines and beautiful clay. It looks to be around 70ml so probably ideal for higher end yancha.

I’d recommend getting a basic hongni shuiping as an all around 1st pot.
Such as this 120ml one from EOT. Good all around size. https://essenceoftea.com/collections/yi ... ing-teapot
Or if you want a smaller 60ml pot than I’d recommend one of these vintage pots from TWL. https://teaswelike.com/product/1970s-f1-waxy-hongni/

@Chadrinkincat: thanks for that, always good to see pot photos. I don't really know anything about pre-F1 pots.
Looks like yours has the same seal as my 50s puffed lid. but that's the only point of similarity between them.

@Andrew S
Nice! I’ve got a soft spot for these puffed lid pots.
Is that the zhuni one Kyarazen sold on TC?

@Chadrinkincat: no, actually a hongni one, but it's seen enough use to have picked up a nice shine. 60mL, so it's convenient for putting an entire 8g or 8.5g packet of yancha inside for some strong tea.

Hello all! I’m new to the forum. I have almost nonexistent knowledge of teapots so I wouldn’t be able to provide information regarding my teapots. I’ve been given 2 clay teapots that I believe might be yixing teapots. I have a general question about these 2 teapots and wonder if there would be knowledgeable people here who would be able to help 
Would anyone be able to tell the quality of the make by looking at these photos? I know that one of them has a mark at the bottom of the handle that says 袁義和 (Yuan Yi He). The other one, I can’t see any seal other than the writing at the bottom of the pot in cursive.
Any info through observation about these 2 teapots would be very much appreciated!

Well, these are interesting first-timer pots…
First one looks like it’s got an antique lid on a modern make body.
Second is not Yixing, but a vintage Chaozhou/Shantou pot. That’s a different teaware making region in Guangzhou which makes pots on the wheel as opposed to the slab built Yixing wares.

Thank you so so much @Bok I really appreciate this. I didn’t even know that the second one is not yixing. I actually have another pot that I haven’t had the chance to take photo of it yet.
I will post it in the nest few days when I get the chance to take pictures.

Size of pot: 180ml
- Clay type: some kind of hongni/zhuni
- Walls: Thin
- Pour speed: fast if not clogged, single hole
- What year/decade the pot was made: my folks got it in HK in the 90s, supposedly made for Taiwan market
- What type of tea you make with it? Sheng puer
- The effect on tea: typical zhuni pot characteristics, and because it's flat/big mouth, does not retain that much heat. Good for sheng puer.
