Mid to late 19th C. duanni clay.

I want an old pot like that too.

Brewing really aged puerh in this thing must be an out of this world experience.

That's pretty cool! Did you see this in person or find the photo online?

Beautiful! the restoration makes it so much more interesting to look at.

It's a enrichment for every bowl that is already beautiful.
Unfortunately somebody else wanted this one as well..

I had to take a break from that work due to allergies... But I want to get back in to it....

There are some low allergy kintsugi-sets available but I guess it still isn't good at all to come in contact with the raw material.

Honestly, looks to be made 30/40 years ago.

Agree. Clay looks odd to me as well and the shaped is rather rustic.. quite unusual ins't it?

Is this a good sign?

Spot on! And they collect and keep things in storage for decades and a lot more (like in this case). I lived in Taipei for a while and I came across very interesting stuff about Traditional Chinese culture.

Well, in this case there is no chance for this teapot, to be more older than a few decades, so please, write less and study more.

No luck today..

I have a question for everyone.
What makes a chawan special for you? I mean, what are the characteristics or details do you usually look at?

[theroots]

What makes a chawan special for you?

Several things:

A good size: It should be big/wide enough to prepare the matcha but no too big to hold it appropriate.

A nice glaze

A nice shape which is as important as the glaze. Irregular and asymmetric chawans are perfect!

Additional: If there is a tomobako and/or kintsugi restoration it will make it perfect. It's nice to know the artist (at least the name). A nice antique chawan is a great find as well.
