Ok, so it's not original Factory 1 or modern master work, but it looks like it had been a completely usable pot....
Not really worth the reconditioning work at this point .

Maybe it is something a good soak in bleach could fix? This is a problem for Marshaln.
Re: That's a shame...
Funny, I was thinking the seller actually put in extra time and effort to sell the pot for less money than if she had just listed it as a Yixing teapot for $20. One of those rare cases that hard work resulted in less pay.Drax wrote:Could be that the wax is worth more than the pot...?

for waxes you probably will need to burn it off, i.e. throw it back into the kiln and take it to 1k deg celsius again

probably depends on the initial porosity, but would carbon wicked deep in there permanently discolor/taint it?kyarazen wrote:not for waxes unfortunately!BioHorn wrote:Maybe it is something a good soak in bleach could fix? This is a problem for Marshaln.

would doing some hot oil/solvent pulls first help?
