What do people think of jian shui and chao zhou teapots ?
What is a jian shui teapot? Never heard of the name.
On the Yunnan Sourcing website it says that jian shui is made from clay from Hong He county. They say that when fired its more than twice as dense as yixing clay.
I have not heard of this Jian Shui clay either and am a little suspicious about a claim that says moisture resistant in an unglazed pottery. Yixing teapots are not moisture resistant. In sourcing from China, it is better to be suspicious and investigative first.
bebemochi, i think you should take photos of these pots to post here. so possible to be sure if they are ok or bad.
