Pot #6 looks to be Green Label. I agree with chadrinkincat, the numbers first appeared in the Green Label period. If I remember correctly, it refers to a group of workers vs an individual. The clay also looks like Green Label. Coating is a bit rough though, but normal.
#5 looks funky to me too. A bit too sloppy
Factory or Faketory?

Pot #9: 95-100ml Rou Bing. Long lid skirt with engraving on it. No idea what it says. If anyone wants to translate, I can take better photos. Real or not, the clay performs quite well.

I ran the first two pots past Dr. Lu's facebook group. Pot #1 is authentic 70's F1. Pot #2 is likely a 2000's repro ordered for the Taiwanese market.
Nice. Yes, the bottom of pot #2 looks wrong. The clay is still good though.tingjunkie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:36 amI ran the first two pots past Dr. Lu's facebook group. Pot #1 is authentic 70's F1. Pot #2 is likely a 2000's repro ordered for the Taiwanese market.

For example, there's a mark around the rim that looks weirdburritofingers wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:01 pm

Ah, gotcha. I just figured that was a tea stain. Thanks, Steanze!steanze wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:23 pmFor example, there's a mark around the rim that looks weirdburritofingers wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:01 pm

It does not look like a tea stain to me, it seems like a mark left during the making, which indicates non-F1 like workmanshipburritofingers wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:54 pmAh, gotcha. I just figured that was a tea stain. Thanks, Steanze!
Good eye, I didn't even look at that! I felt the characters inside the lid looked too carefully incised to be F1, but it might just be the extreme closeup.steanze wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:29 pmIt does not look like a tea stain to me, it seems like a mark left during the making, which indicates non-F1 like workmanshipburritofingers wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 4:54 pmAh, gotcha.

Hi
could someone maybe have a look at this pot and tell me if you think if it's a genuine green label pot?

I've seen the vendor mentioned in another threat here and assume he's reliable. On the other hand i am not too experienced with vintage pots and am a little skeptic since most other pots that i have seen so far had a stamp in the lid and a single hole filter.

Hi Soma, Welcome to the forum. I am not an expert, just an educated collector/user of Yixing. That looks genuine to me, plus I can vouch for the seller. HYChen sources some, or more than a few, of his pots from an expert, Kyarazen. I have a very similar ‘roubing’ (meat cake) as the one you linked, mine is from late 70s early 80s (green label) that I got from Kyarazen. You can buy from him with confidence.Soma wrote: ↑Mon Jul 30, 2018 2:24 pmHi

Pots 7 and 8....you guys are going to think that i am crazy..but those look like the 40 ml Hong Ni and Muo Lvni Shui Ping teapots that were for sale at the Mandarin's Tea Room many years ago. I bought one of the Hong Ni Shui Pings from them. I could try and find the old MTR blog as I believe there were pictures of the teapots there.
As far as factory or faketory....well all I can say is that if they are the pots I believe them to be, they are of excellent craftsmanship. If I am wrong...promise to laugh with me not at me
