[QUOTE="Ratsy Brown, post: 355986, member: 5040"]Hi all I often come across Yixing type teapots in charity shops, but they always seem too fake to me. This one was worth a go, it just has a 'feel' about it. It has inscriptions on both sides, and marked underneath. The spout and handle do not touch the table when laid upside down, is that an immediate nono? The lid fits really securely, and covering the lid hole stops the water from pouring. It feels quite heavy overall, at least compared to the fakes I have held. 3 inches tall including lid Thanks Ratsy [ATTACH=full]121207[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]121208[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]121209[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]121212[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
