Benshan luni

[bagua7]

I came across this pot today:





I used flash because it was dark but in daylight it is not as bright as in the pics.

Questions I have:

1. Is it pure luni? It's what the vendor claims since that pot is part of a 15 pot bulk order he placed using different clays (luni was one of them); and according to the Yixing potter unadulterated clays were used.

2. What tea suits well this kind of clay and particular shape. The pot is thick-walled and high fired.

It's priced at $108 AUD ($116 USD).


Thanks for the input.

$108 AUD? Well, let's put it this way -- you shouldn't be the one buying this

Lu ni as in "green clay" but not ben shan luni. Looks like white clay colored with chromium oxide.

Cool, good to read it's a coloured clay. Not interested especially at that price.

Cheers.
