Chen Kexin 1980's Yixing ?

by In search of truth » Apr 17th, '12, 07:19

Has anybody heard of Chen Kexin,a potter possibly in the 1980's at Factory No. 1 ?

I was wondering if he was a relation of Zhu Kexin ?

Thanks for any help.

Why would he be related to Zhu Kexin?

In Chinese, family names come first, e.g. Chen Kexin's surname is Chen (not Kexin).

Didn't even occur to me that's what he was getting at

It is my mis reading of the seal.
On the right is the character like a double pronged trident and on the left Kexin.

Zhu Kexin didn't make factory pots in 80's.

It certainly sounds like a contradiction.
