Ok, we’re back.
To keep you all occupied while I am still learning the ropes, here’s something for you:
Which one of these three pots is Yixing? For the two others that are not, what are they respectively?
Keep in mind this is pre-cleaning.
The prize is either a cup (chosen from a group of them) or a few tea samples. Winning entry must specify what each pot is. Good luck 🙂
I’m going to guess that the outer two are Chaozhou pots and the middle one is Yixing?
This would be easier if we could see the inside / bottoms.
BTW, Yixing or Chaozhou, the one on the left is really cute.
Mostly for silly reasons (the sheen) I’m guessing the yixing is the outer right pot
left to right: chaozhou, yixing, tokoname
@Janine –
I’m sorry – I didn’t read your directions carefully. I’m guessing the first on the left is Chaozhou and I have no idea about the middle
Far right is yixing, middle is Japanese, left is…. some sot of clay from asia…..
Some attempt is better than none I figure
left=yixing, right is chaozhou, middle is japanese
im curious as to what’s the answer?
Left to right: Chao Zhou, Yi Xing, Import Yi Xing Hong Ni made in Taiwan.
Left: Chao Zhou
Center: Yixing for Japanese in Early Republican Era
Right: Japanese
@Teaperday –
That’s pretty good :). You must have quite a few pots?
