Tian qing ni, ben shan lv ni, well No.4, have these teapots touched you?
To be honest, the real Yixing clay teapots sellers are very limited, follow this seller's cooperative artists Liang Shoukun and Qiu Gaigai, you needn't be worry about the quality.

Wow, I can't afford those, but the I love the second one. It's rather cheap if it's real ben shan lv ni.

Too modest
quality is more important than quantity, rather go without than have something shoddy.

Red Jiangpo clay... No rivals below $150,right?
Golden duan ni clay, somebody is familiar with Yixing clay will appreciate it.

How are these high end? Low prices indicate that these are nowhere near that kinda level.

So you judge the quality by the price? ,that's indeed a good way.
If I tell you masters' clay is the same, you may think I'm talking nonsense.
As the clay is hard to judge, so there're someone fooling around with expensive garbage clay, I just can't stand that.

No. There is no incentive for a pot to sell for less than it’s worth if it’s actually high end. There is way more incentive to sell a pot for more than it’s worth though. What makes this pot high end but priced so low?

Nobody is gonna sell a bottle of pappy van winkle to a stranger for the same price as well whisky.

So your judgement standard is still high end teapots should have a high end price.Do you know Gu Jingzhou's teapots were sold at the price lower than $1?

I checked, author has no title, even so, I'm discussing whether the clay is high end. is the clay real?is the tian qing ni, benshan lv ni clay better than the teapots selling on website at the price more than $300? is the red Jiang po clay the best quality at this price?

These pots look okay, but the forms are not refined enough to be labeled “high end” IMO. And the pictures are too pixelated to see the clay in higher definition. This is the sad fate of modern yixing climate. Particularly online purchasing.

It is unrealistic to assume young artists have access to the best original mountain clays. It seems yixing market has learned what terms to throw around these last 5-10 years to make their product sound more authentic or “higher quality”. How is a customer to verify such claims? It takes years of handling pots and comparing old/new batches to even begin to have a the sensibilities to make somewhat sound judgments on quality.

Most pots in the $100-$200 range nowadays are made with decent, doped or manipulated clays to appeal to the less discerned customer

I'm using Tang Liping's more than $3000 teapot, also I'm using Liang Shoukun's tian qing ni Hantang Shipiao. some traditional teapots, the gap in craftsmanship is not as big as you think.
There're so many rumor makers because most tea-lovers don't know real Yixing clay, there's a book recommended, the magnified texture won't tell lies:


Master Tang's teapot

Can you tell me more about this book? Is it available for the western public?

Thanks,

For over 3000 I would rather get a Qing dynasty teapot, but that's me
