Thanks a lot, I am not a tea drinker but into antique. <br />Bought this lovely teapot with the Zhong Guo teapot with a beautiful, very fine enamelled teapot of flowers. <br /><br />Wish I could upload the photos here, bit don't know how to. dazeyezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561332875745414853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-69576297262985399622009-08-06T14:27:11.553-07:002009-08-06T14:27:11.553-07:00Hi Peter, thanks for reading.
Firstly, congrats ...Hi Peter, thanks for reading. <br /><br />Firstly, congrats on your find. Zhong Guo is an interesting petigree. First all, there are many years which have this particular stamp or chop mark which can make identifying the exact year very difficult. The only real way to know is by an expert who can judge the clay. Unfortnately, this is also an educated guess. Zhong guo started after '66 and are curently being made today so naturally prices will very. I really dont feel comfortable stating how much I paid but for a pot like mine that is WenGe "Cultural Revoluation '66-'73 Zhong Guo in good condition you will be looking between $400 and $600 sometime more. I hope this helps.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116510823087899683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-59307548463575051262009-08-06T13:05:09.852-07:002009-08-06T13:05:09.852-07:00Hey Bill,

I was wondering if you could tell me how much you bought yours for because I bought mine in the charity shop in London, UK for £6, which I think is a bargain. It has never been used before, and in excellent condition.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-57370420543839774272009-03-30T21:10:00.000-07:002009-03-30T21:10:00.000-07:00Hey Bill,Love your blog.

Yes, it somewhat more loose than you generally find, but it makes a damn good cup of tea! :D As for the Qing Cups, well, I didn't buy them. They were a gift from Aaron F. Good of him wouldn't you say?Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116510823087899683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808678224257528961.post-73420441467360448972009-03-08T07:55:00.000-07:002009-03-08T07:55:00.000-07:00Congrats!

From the picture, I think it fits well enough -- I mean the rim line is smooth and you don't see any gap.<BR/><BR/>You didn't tell me you also bought two Qing porceline cups! so that's a surprise!Life.learning.sherabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977364231403592037noreply@blogger.com
