[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10314145, member: 10944"]Calligraphy is a massive bonus on anything old and Chinese. On new things it may not always hold true. I agree with the tips given about teapots and what to look for. I had a discussion with an avid collector once before I even really knew what Yixing was. For the modern pieces it is really about precision it seems. Dimensions but also fit. How tight does the lid fit. Everything perfect, and everything in its place. Also maker obviously. The old pewter teapots having their original Yixing liner massively increases their value. Yixing clay supposedly added an element to the flavor of your tea that no other clay did.[/QUOTE]
