Please feel free to comment about them

wow, nice collection. Hard to say for sure, but just from these pictures, they look pretty legit. I particular like the second set of pots.

I am quite skeptical about the first and last. For the others, I'd need to see a few more pictures...

thank you very much
The first teapot has a little bit of o provenance , it was exhibited in 1986 at Hoghton Tower The UK . So it must be made at least before this
The last teapot was bought from an antique shop in Kensington high street London . When I have time I will try to take better photos of these
Your opinions are as always appreciated

thank you very much , I love collecting yixing teapots but my knowledge is quite poor and have to rely on the honesty of the sellers when I buy my teapots
I have quite a few "tuition fees " teapots in my collection

First teapot is lovely, could be late-Qing/ROC (if lucky)..a rare one.

Last one is quite special, only reduction firing could get that color I think...

For poor knowledge your collections seems quite good… You are either very humble or very lucky managing so many items which are genuine from the looks of it. Most other people with limited knowledge accumulate crap only before they – maybe – find one or two gems

My main knowledge is with antique porcelain but as far as yixing is concerned I still can't tell one type of clay to another : zhuni , da hong pao etc and then of course most importantly fake yixing clay and mixed yixing clay
