Less confident about this one being a real factory pot but I have no experience with 90s pots so maybe something from then?
Around 100ml, sounds very well and high fired
Quite sloppy inside, lid knob hole is pretty sloppy too compared to my confirmed factory pots (late 60s- green label)
Thanks smart people!
Just got this in, obviously it’s dirty but any thoughts on if it’s a real factory pot/what era?
Comparing to my early 70s hongni shui ping that’s the same size - spout and lid knob looks a bit off, handle is noticeably thicker, clay looks extremely similar
I bought this a while ago thinking it was green label NWLJ. Broke the spout and not seeing any zini underneath. Either non factory or maybe 90s hongni?
Yes I own pots that don’t have broken spouts
I was under the impression that this thing was fake but then saw something that implied it may be a special order f1 pot? So I come to you, people smarter than me. I’m prepared to be disappointed.
The outside feels like it has a very light glaze on it, almost waxy but doesn’t come off with hot water. Yes the spout is broken oops
Bought this from a friend a few years ago who bought it from her friend, who got it sometime between 2005-2015 in Taiwan. Would love to know anything about the potter!
It’s a great pot, functions beautifully, makes great tea. Has a very interesting but quite useful effect where the only note it really mutes is smokiness.
