<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ratsy Brown, post: 10312143, member: 5040&quot;]Every time i have tried to make money on Yixing teapots i have failed. It’s only gone well by chance. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the advice i have followed has not helped. For example remove lid, turn the teapot upside down and place it on a table. If the rim, handle and spout are level with the surface of the table its a ‘good’ one. I found this to be completely inaccurate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Plain designs can be good or bad. New/old can be good or bad. Enamelling can be good or bad. Elaborate designs can be good or bad. Big/small can be good or bad. Its a minefield. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only consistent thing i have found is the details of the clay. Look at these images. They have tiny light brown spots in the clay. I think this is an indicator of genuine Zisha clay, and most of the others just look vaguely correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]518098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]518099[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Even this isn&#039;t always the case. There are plenty of lighter coloured yixing pots that go for hundreds/thousands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
