Can anyone please identify the maker my yixing?

by tinols » Aug 24th 12 12:46 am

Hello all
I got this yixing from a local tea store. They sell pretty much every single teas imaginable. They even have pu erh from the 20s or so.
The pot I got was pretty cheap, so I told myself, what the heck.

here's a picture of the bottom side of my pot.

I can't verify the characters in the chop, but I can tell you that I think your pot may be slip cast.

'Maker' identification hasn't been very useful in my (rather limited) experience. Most of the time they are just average joes. The stamp can reveal other things, however, so having a picture of it is good. It might be also helpful to have pictures of the pot, both inside and outside.

朱君芳, female.

+1 to the economist's comment - most of the time finding out who made the pot makes zero difference, because you can't even find out anything about the person who made the pot

I can't even see the picture and I can tell that it is slip cast. :D
