Hi guysSorry for insanely late reply!In our hotel room whilst we were in HK earlier my boyfriend and I happened to watch a documentary being aired of TV on Yixing and their production of clay teapots. They made particular mention of distinguishing between real and fake Yixing teapots. I think to be able to distinguish between the two takes more than a couple of weeks though.So when we were in Zhongshan my boyfriend and I were very skeptical of the authenticity of the teaware, particularly the teapots, and we found that it is true that the prices were quite expensive. In the end we didn’t buy any. 🙁
