May I know what does the stamp indicate? My Mandarin is pathetic.
It's not unusual to find little dots of different colours in Zini teapots. Dark or black dots are due to manganese while yellow specks are basically 'golden sands'.
I believe the chop is 经典陶坊 (jīng diǎn táo fāng).
Stephane has sold some pots with this mark (looking at the pot, I think it's the same maker), as well as Rishi.
Their site is

My understanding is that they are in the place that #1 Factory used to be in... but so are a ton of others.

Thanks for the link and translation of the chop.
The shop said, the zhuni (with the shops own branding) and the zini that I bought is made from the same studio which is in factory-1. So now I know where it is
So far I'm quite happy with the workmanship of my pots from the studio. It is semi handmade. Not perfect but passed the standard test I expected.
Before I proceed buying more from this studio, Is the price I bought my current pots ok?
Zhuni (120ml) = USD145
Zhuni (140ml) = USD145
Zhuni (160ml) = USD154
Zini (120ml) = USD38

Looks ok to me, but I am not a specialist.
Very nice site. I wish I'd understand how it works to place an order.
Some pots look very nice !

Remind you, factory-1 didn't have Zhuni, Jing Dian Tao Fang offers clay from exclusively from mine no.4, however, mine no.4 doesn't have Zhuni as well. But that doesn't mean that Zhuni is not Zhuni,
Knowing who runs it (Gao Ji, Zhang Zheng Zhong) and hearing the reputation of studio, I assume that might be a good Zhuni as well

This is the pot I use the most. I use it with Taiwanese and Thai Oolongs.

I read a while ago that Hojo had bought some yixing. I contacted him and bought two of them. This one is my favourite.
It is between 30 and 40 years old. Never used. Medium thick walls. 15cl.
My initial tests on wuyi yan cha are very promising.
I just love this pot.
