Ok, we’re back.
To keep you all occupied while I am still learning the ropes, here’s something for you:
Which one of these three pots is Yixing? For the two others that are not, what are they respectively?
Keep in mind this is pre-cleaning.
The prize is either a cup (chosen from a group of them) or a few tea samples. Winning entry must specify what each pot is. Good luck 🙂

Yeah whisky prices have been leaking too, as well as luxury watches. I wrote a post maybe a decade ago…
Uh, nah
Thanks for sharing that website, I used it to look at a 2006 7542 which had also declined a lot…
Lawrence. Please contact me. No scam.
I have not gone down the aged sheng rabbit hole very far, I am not shocked to see the prices…

I’m going to guess that the outer two are Chaozhou pots and the middle one is Yixing?
This would be easier if we could see the inside / bottoms.
BTW, Yixing or Chaozhou, the one on the left is really cute.

Mostly for silly reasons (the sheen) I’m guessing the yixing is the outer right pot

@Janine –
I’m sorry – I didn’t read your directions carefully. I’m guessing the first on the left is Chaozhou and I have no idea about the middle

Far right is yixing, middle is Japanese, left is…. some sot of clay from asia…..
Some attempt is better than none I figure

@Teaperday –
That’s pretty good :). You must have quite a few pots?
