Andrew15_06: Vintage Yixing teapot $125obo

by Andrew15_06 » Dec 11th, '14, 18:46

This is a vintage Yixing pot I have found out that it is 70s, 80s, or 90s teapot. It is either a replica of Zhu Ke Xin or authentic piece. If it is a replica it is 90s. The stamp appears authentic but I haven't been able to find anyone that could say for sure.

I am needing to clear space and this pot is still available. I am accepting $125 for it. That will include shipping costs within the U.S.

this is a 彩蝶 pot. i have one but from the laser label era (i.e. mid 90s).
in your piece, the bottom seal reads "Zhu Ke Xin", 朱可心。

if it is authentic, it can be worth a pretty penny, but do investigate and study carefully. 请多多参考.

find an expert in the area to physically inspect the pots

in the mean time you can take a google image search of

朱可心 彩蝶 where you can see some authentic pieces and some replicates for your consideration and study.

there's a possibility that the pot is not made by 朱可心

Thank you so much! I will begin the search now. It is an extremely well made teapot and something about it just kept standing out to me...perhaps I have stumbled upon a treasure...even if it isn't an authentic Zhu Kexin it is still lovely. :)

Massive price drop. Through the end of the week then this pot will be pulled and put into storage.
