I can't make this out or even understand it at all. Clearer image and do explain.
Looks like 2 characters, thai symbols? meng chen? gong jue? yi gong? All wild guesses....

The_economist, that pot is superb.
I have one squarish as well,60ml Zini that I use with aged Oolongs.
I think mine is from the 80's factory 1, but with all the fakes around I'm really not sure.
Can you tell me if the clay looks like yours?

Gorgeous little thing--massive and angular in appearance, yet so petite!

Thanks all!

Debunix, that was precisely what attracted me to it. It has a dominating presence (霸气).

Achyle, the clay looks different to me, but I'm not an expert.

nice shape and well made by 福记传人

This is an old company. I wonder if it is an homage to them or one produced for the company? Lovely pot.

made by zhou zhi hua.. not a homage... not produced for the company...

maybe can classify it as a 名家 pot perhaps.

Zhou Zhihua is a Craftsman listed in Billy Mood's Factory 1 list. Wonder what the Fuji reference is.

I don't think it's Factory's stuff, but don't take too seriously on them, they were just commercial distributed pots

Hi Wert ~ I think 福记 still very much alive and producing higher craftsmanship yixing these days. Cheers ~ T

fu ji history

2nd gen - son, chen jin mao
3rd gen - grand son, chen zhen qing, married zhou feng di, had....
4th gen - great grand children, daughter - zhou zhi hua, son, zhou zhi xuan

dont ask my why they didnt continue the chen family name though, well perhaps some expert will really know, aint no billy mood here so dont consider any of this to be reference!

Pretty good, Kyarazen!
