Re: Yixing Teapot |
Posted By: Cal Posted Date: Dec 31, 2010 (06:46 PM) |
Message Yixing teapots are often marked on inside of lid and sometimes also elsewhere. There have been some famous designer/potters whose marks have been faked. Important for determining age is patina, form and beauty of execution. If you post exact description (dimensions) and in-focus photos taken in natural light, including photo of mark and straight-on profile, someone may be able to help with assessment of when made. Yixing pots are being made today using same clay as 350 years ago. Good luck, Cal Post a Response |
