Of course. Yixing teapots, Star Wars toys, and Apple stock. If we only had a time machine... Congrats on the buried treasure! Enjoy. :D

i seldom buy from overseas! but the ridiculousness of local and regional prices required me to cast my interest towards sourcing from further locations.

in this case the seller gave me the diameter of the body than the diameter from handle to spout included :evil: nevertheless i've just received a request from a friend whom's interested in having it if i dont want/like it. guess i'm keeping it and add it to my display shelf

was found in a "junk" box, uncommon/"strange" clay, queer and not so readable seal. since the pot was intact, and should be able to make tea, picked it up for $40

Mo Yuan Zhai Zhi. Late-Qing~the ROC's studio where the destination used to be Japan. I think they replicated the seal since the 90s or so.

That's 尚古堂,

no one knows the exact date of Shang Gu Tang. Some says after 90s, some says as late as Daoguang period.

It's not 'recorded' seal or studio like Mo Yuan Zhai...from looking of some Shang Gu Tang pots...it traces quite like Qianlong period fashion..or the imitations of it.

Thanks, but I'm reducing my collection drastically, it's so addictive that I was close to 40 pots and if nothing stops me it would be 100 in 2 years, no way.
I'm so deep into the TAD :twisted: that I have to really restrain myself and have limits so I said to myself: only zhuni pre 60's, it's so hard to find these days that I think 1 or 2 pots per year is reasonable, unless some members PM me and sell me theirs today :mrgreen:

Hi guys!

I'm here for quite a while but just did a lot of reading so far. Since there are a few experts here I'd like to hear their opinion on this pot. It supposed to be a Factory 1 pot from the early 80's. Any thoughts?
