first yixing pot

[t4texas]

What pour rate are you getting with the 150 ml pots from Chen?

Yes, it's 150cc pot from Chen.

My question is: How fast does it pour out all the water when it is full?

[yangshuoren]

If the pour is good, I would leave it alone. But if the $99 pots have the same details... I would ask Chen for a clear answer.

Pouring is dribbling when water is fuel and begin smooth when water reduce to half.

I don't understand what video. You want me to take a short video while i'm pouring with the teapot?

It need about 16~ 17 seconds and driblling at the first time.

sorry, i thought it may be a video, because i can not see it, the shuiping pot's pouring we test before we sell out. i think it is good but not perfect, because this pot is made by my father's assistant. but i promise it has good quality and pure zi qie ni.

By "video" I think she means "photo." It sounds like the image does not make it through to China.

I wouldn't really worry about small asymmetry in a $45 semi-handmade pot, especially since it has good clay...

Whatever you do don't try to sand it, that will produce silica dust which is extremely bad for your lungs, you'd mess up the texture of the sanded area and probably make things worse overall.

[MarshalN]

The amount of silica dust that can be produced by whatever sanding you do is really pretty minimal... this is usually a problem with miners or other occupations that are very heavily exposed. One time sanding of a spout is not going to do much of anything to anybody.

That said, I won't sand it just because it will inevitably look uglier sanded.

I am looking for a simple, small, pure, ideally dark colored yixing pot for puerh. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

If you think your confused now. Wait until you've spent an hour looking here.

Everything is fine with my teapot just a little bit disappointed with the spout.

Hi,
I'm Left handed and I recognized it immediately, its a very rare left handed Tea Pot.

Please see my post about the Chinese Tea Pot Gallery for help in telling good from bad. To narrow it down, you can set the listing of the teapots for most expensive, then scroll down until you get to the $12 pots. Then work your way up, looking at traditioanl style pots only. Most I have from ctpg are i;n the $12 - $24 range.

If you can wait about 8 weeks they should have many more suitable pots on-line. Right now very few.

As a left-handed person, I'm interested to know what makes that spout left-handed? Isn't the handle on the opposite side of the pot (unlike a kyusu)? I'm not getting why that little angle would make a difference.

I obviously haven't had enough tea today or I would have caught that!
