Sometimes just bringing out the pot and looking at them makes me feel happy :D . It's just amazing that these pots are unlike porcelain where they shine exterior wise but yixing pots after sometime of use they shine from the inside.
Anyone here can help me with the wording of my zhu ni pots? :mrgreen:

Let me share with you guys another pot which I bought in Taiwan. I called it 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'. It's a fairly big pot. 300-350ml. I plan to sell it but just afraid that I might not be able to get this kind ever again. This set comes with a pot and 4 cups.

Well, the inscription on the side does read 虎踞龍盤, "where tigers crouch and dragons coil."

TIM, the chop at the bottom of our pots are different yes? Could mine be a reproduction of your piece by a different artist?

Could be. At first it did occur to me it might be duan ni but the colour does not match.

yet another neiziwaihong pot, about 90ml (3-4cups). nice pour, flat filter, weird stamp on its bottom (the 中 isn't quite right), and 瑞 (rui) inside the lid.
