Are all these pots yixing pots? Some look like Chaozhou pots instead.
The effort to post all these photos is much appreciated.

Was wondering the same thing.
Looks like there are some wheel marks on a few(like pot 6).
Did they make chaozhou pots in the ming/qing dynasty?

Chaozhou pots have a long history. Not sure about the Ming but certainly in the Qing they were around.

I have a ~45ml chaozhou pot from ~daoguang period to share for those interested. The lid is not original. I also have one about 75ml from the republic period I will show off in a following post. Cheers.

Thank you loinguyen for showing off your collection. Quite the old pots you have there. Awesome!

Now, regarding the remade lid, the daoguang cz pot should have a similar shaped lid (pear shape) as the republic pot. I do not know when it was remade or what happened to the original. Enjoy!
