Re: Old China YiXing Purple Clay (Red Porcelain) Tea Pot
I purched two very old and authenic chinese teapots from an estate sale about a 18 months ago. I learned alot about Yixing Zisha (Purple Clay) tea pots. Search Jiang Rong. She was the first female to gain the title of Grand Master Craftsman in China. She made a piece called the Mango. It auctioned off for $39,000 and is now in a museum. I bought the same piece for $125 on eBay. It even has her signature. I bought a few more of her pieces too. They all have her signature. They are all beautiful and worth the price as far as workmanship but I don't believe that any of them are real.
