90s CNNP 'Shui Lan Ying' / Water Blue Mark Raw - Taste wise is unique. Some were saying it has the Plum taste.

70s Yellow Mark - RM10k (USD3200) per beeng. Yub finally get to try it. Some were saying it has the dry orange skin taste. Is it nice? Definitely yes because of the price tag. But would I buy? Probably yes, if it cost RM100 (USD32). The shop owner was saying in 1995, people were selling it at RM25 (USD8) and nobody wants it. I wonder why would people pay so much for such a taste, it is not great.

80s Factory #1 Teapot - quite a rough workmanship (in a good way back then). Can someone identify what clay is this? A lot of blink blink... Di Cao Qing?

Thanks for the translation.

I kept the teapot already, will take out and snap later. But a quick description, inside is rough with 7 holes. Bottom of the lid no chop. Looks like a mass production 80s teapot.

sound like good stuff to me. Its antique. Have you decided what tea to brew it with?

Not sure what tea... maybe ripe pu, but before that I am going to send it to a friend to help me polish it with sand paper.... shine shine... like those Thai teapots. I have seen his polished teapots, very nice.

i don't like polish teapot. I prefer to use tea to make it shine.

+1

Yes, I like to use it until it shines naturally... but no harm getting one for fun to look like this...

eg.

*photo not mine

how will the tea absorption be when surface is sand to shine like that?

This is hand polished (takes minimum 8 hours to 16 hours) and not those using machine or applied wax. So my friend said it will still absorb tea and will shine further.

He used to have a teapot about under RM100. But after polishing, people offered him RM1000 for it. Not all teapot will end up nice after polish. So really depends on luck also. People like the output with those blink blink dots. So my that pot before polish already have so many blink blink. After polish, hopefully it will be nice. But there is possibility the blink blink may go away also after polish... haha

wow, i should do this to earn extra credit!!!
