Help recognize characters on Yixing t-pot

[dan88]

I have not yet started to learn Chinese, so I can not recognize Chinese characters on the side of the pot. Can somebody help me with this. I also attached a picture of the stamp, by some chance it would help somehow.

I am not so well versed in the seal script so can't help you there (some of the people here that make a habit of identifying the seals on Yixing will be of better help). My wife and I both looked at the characters on the side of the pot (she is Native Taiwanese) but the picture angle and light quality are poor. If you put up a better picture I can read it.

I can't read Chinese (even though…I am Chinese…:lol: but only because of family). I can say though that there aren't that many people around, especially outside of China, who can read seal script these days.

I tried handwriting those characters into my tablet and the prediction came up with something similar, but I'm hesitant to count those results as valid. (I'm not allowed to post links yet) Oriental Outpost has a page called "100 Ways to Write Good Luck Chinese Calligraphy Wall Scroll". These scrolls are sometimes seen in China and…some characters literally do have 100 forms.

Regarding the main writing on the pot, a much clearer photo will be needed, not least because it's written in semi-cursive script.

I don't think this post helped much at all but since you were asking about Chinese characters…a bit of context I suppose.

I suspected that it's not so easy to read the seal. I thought maybe somebody saw a similar seal before.

As for the writing on the side, I am attaching a photo taken from a close distance. Any help would be appreciated.

The seal and engraving tell that this teapot is made by a guy called Li Wenrong and engraved by himself in March of 2009.
But actually this isn't any interesting or useful information.
The teapot looks nice though.
If there are four characters in the engraving, then probably it's a sentence "the taste of tea is the taste of zen". I thought this would be more interesting to know.

Thank you very much for the information. To be more specific, I was looking for information about the author of this pot. Someone told me that these engravings can reveal the truth to me. I would like to delve into the internet and look for more information about this author. Could you show me how to write his name in Chinese?

And here's another picture of the engraving on the side.

禅茶一味 (Chan Cha Yi Wei)...Zen and tea have the same taste...broadly used in asia, among tea drinking communities..

Now there is a Peking University graduate

Do you have any ideas what type of clay it might be? I did some research on different types of clay on this forum and outside, but since there are many types and colors I am still learning. I figured out though what Zi Ni and Duan Ni are.

looks like Zhuni feel? tap a handle with a lid..if it has a metal or glass sound (as opposed to clayware sound)..then it's closed to Zhuni....modern Zhuni of a sort.

What does these characters say? It looks like a poem. Is it?
