Qing Dynasty Tea pots 150 to 250 years old

A private collector was showing his collection of these oldies. Price tag each is about RM11,000 (USD3548) to Rm17,000 (USD5483)

When I heard it is expensive, I didn't want to touch it, but the private collector insist I should hold and feel the texture, but he is so scared i drop or knock it... treating me like a boy

Come to Thailand where many Singapore and Malaysian dealers buy their antique pots.

You are a baby infront of these oldies

How pretty! And proof that teapot design - really hasn't changed much.

I'd love to brew very old puerh in one of those old pots. Anyway, how come they are so cheap?

For example:



Wang MeiFang (master craftsman)

USD $2498.72


Still cheap if we compare it with the works of artists like Gu jing Zhou (1915-1992). One of his pots sold in 1997 for 65 grand.

If they are so cheap to you, I suggest you buy as many as possible.

Gu's pot start usually at lower 80k currently, and we are not talking about his master pieces.

There are 2 types of pot: From famous masters or mass product for daily uses. Those "Qing's" pots from Auhckw were mainly for export (mass produced). So the price are usually in the $500 to $5000 range.

I have my view of those oldies are from 250 years ago They either look too refine for construction or should be much much more in price range?

The mark on the base reads 'chuo mo kan cha', which literally translates as 'to sip the ink and to bring up a cup of tea'. This specific mark was used by Gu Jingzhou when he started teaching after the 1950s and was a metaphorical expression to his pupils for cultivating great patience in learning the finest skills of teapot production.

Pics aren't clear, but not so sure

I like the rimmed one, Ju Lun Zhu, the one between them and the carved one..

Others, I wouldn't dare to spend or pend for consideration at the moment, SP is more like Factory-1's

I mean if those pots are in front of me

Hmm, didn't see this thread before. Some of these are definitely not Qing. Others.... well, still pretty questionable, actually. I wouldn't pay that much for any of these pots. Not even half as much.
