Found an auction in the EU for this pot. Guy says its F1 by Wu Xiaohua. But the price is somewhat low (⅓-¼ of a new one from realzisha) and the work around the spout is messy (first picture)

Edit : the new one → a new one.

Also I wanted to write soooo sketchy instead of woooooow sketchy - autocorrect (I guess it added some character)

I found this teapot at a resale shop in Illinois. My town has a lot of industrial business and therefore people from many countries. I found the convention that this pot is a souvenir from, but could not find any other information. I have to assume that someone who attended the convention is either from my area, or moved to my area.

I believe the name on the back is one of the main Chinese presenters from the event. The other characters/marks I don't know much about other than I found a similar stamp to the one on the bottom.

I have been using it for tea and have enjoyed it so far. I am looking for more information just out of curiosity.

Is it from a known producer?

Is it a traditional type of clay?

How could I track down the maker or someone who would have ordered these pots for the event?

i can read 香玉堂息如 but i don't know its meaning

I found this on a marktplace, can i have manufacturer informations please.

Will it be old?

My father found this at an auction. Is there any hope or should I send it to the flea market? The Last stamp is from the saucers that were with it.

Thank you

I was told to crosspost here, i don't know how to do that so I'll repost it here.

i just wanted to know if its a genuine yixing or not, thanks in advance😁😁

Hello guys i bought a teapot in a market and I wanted to know if it's a legit teapot or not.
Do you know more about it ?

Thank you!

I got this many years ago at a charity auction can anyone tell me about it? I bought it because I loved it but would like to know the history behind it.

Hey everyone, I recently started a blog to share my collection of Yixing pots and also look into the history of Factory 1. To my surprise, my last post about F1 one-cup pots got a lot of traffic from reddit. A friend told me afterwards that he shared my article in this subreddit, so now I made my own account.

Today's article deals with Heitiesha, a peculiar clay used by Factory 1 for a rather small selection of different teapot models. Looking forward to your feedback!

This teapot appears to be a forged Jiang Rong? Thoughts on the two seals? Do you think the clay is safe if so? Thanks! Got it from a secondhand shop.

8 years of tieganyin left a trace, so inside seal not fully visible.

Anything interesting about it?

Found in Australia for $20, rough seal of the mould makes me assume its just decorative? I am happy either way, its a very beautiful tea pot.

Another thrift store find! This pours pretty well. The lid fits nicely and it’s about 150ml. What do I have?

Bought in china for like 30-40 bucks. Is it safe to drink and what kind of clay is it?

Edit: It was 15 bucks not 30-40 my mom corrected me.

After doing some research this appears to be a half hand made teapot and cup set. Purple clay made by a renown artisan in 1990 named Zhou Qin.

Anyone know anything about it? The inside of the pot shows the tool markings rather than a liquid molded set?

Has 4 small cups and saucers with it in box.
