I can understand him, now that I've received my first one I'm really thinking about getting a few more. If all have the same price/quality ratio, they're definitely worth it.
Feel the exact same towards mine "can't stop looking at it or touching it", so beautiful I could just use it as a home decoration

I was originally curious as to why so many would purchase new when there were 80's and 90's factory pots still available for sale for similar prices.

Could you recommend any sellers who are selling the 80's and 90's factory pots online? Thanks!
Look forward to the result of comparison.

Sells both modern and 80s/90s factory pots. There are others too but nowhere as reasonable in price as chawangshop.

Thank you! Just had a look, the ones I like are all out of stock... Pity!

I've been brewing with this one a month or so. It's been excellent for shu puer. Probably my favorite for shu so far. I tried it with various sheng around 10 yrs old, but results seemed mediocre to me

I will add that the pot has a ball filter. Something that wasn't listed and not preferred by me. However minimal issues thus far. Very little tea retained after pouring. Slower to dry for sure though.

Hmmm...I think the ball filter is what is interfering with raw pu, your pot obviously doesn't like the aggressivity of young sheng because of the filter acting like a barrier for the quick energy flow of this particular tea.
Cooked pu is a lot more forgiving.

Yes, I have seen them. I read it's "half-handmade"... so a bit unsure...
And is it true? : "The clay used then by factory 5 was much better than most contemporary offerings and brews very nice tea."

I don't like ball filters either... The seller does show the ball filter in the 11th photo, not in the description though...

Alright I am seriously considering getting either one of his zhuni shui pings or the jiangponi xishi. Hmm...I'll have to think about what I'd like to use it for. Really, I'd just like to get one to experiment with. I have a zini shuiping already, so perhaps a zhuni would be better since it's different. The price of the jiangponi is enticing though.

Half-hand made is not an issue at all, it just means that molds were used in support of forming the body and it was hand finished. It's an old technique used in making Yixing pots.
