Probably, Shi Xiao-ma's seal (or copy).

Xiao-ma Kuan is among the most seen copies out there, gotta watch out.
Thank you kyarazen and chrl42

I searched on the internet and found the picture below, that has the same characters. But the seal is for Factory 1 (or 2, 5...) Does it mean that Xiao-ma Kuan worked for that factory?

Could you please write his name in Chinese so I can look on the internet for more information about him. Or if you could link me to a couple of websites with information about Xiao-ma Kuan I woul appreciate it very much.

it's 施小马. The seal looks ok, do you have a picture of the whole pot?

You got this book, do you?

I think it has been recommended here several times. The problem is that what they are asking for in Amazon...I much rather spend that sort of money on tea! :)

bagua7, +1 to your comments. Reading is helpful, but until I use the tea or a pot, I don't know.........

No, I don't own the book. The example was from an Auction house in Beijing. I believe the potter was the great grandfather of one of our member Teamerchants, Chen, whose family is making Yixing teapots.

Is anyone still in contact with her? It seems she left this place, and the tea anglosphere, for good.
