Craig,
Why don't you consider finding an expert on the subject and bring them in
for a workshop?
Thank you.

Craig,
Check with Barbara Brown in a few weeks when she returns from India. She
spent time last year in Yixing, China, and knows a lot about the tea pots.
Her email is brown@web.tv.net.

Several years ago I took a workshop at the Clay studio in Phila.
given by a Yixing potter from China. We had to have a translator
since he spoke minimal English and we no Chinese, but it was quite
informative. He went on to Alfred and to the Denver NCECA where with
a friend from the states sold some of the tools,( his friend makes)
used to make the pots.
At the workshop we also were able to use and purchase the tools
as well as purchase a pound of the Yixing clay. ( so I'm a tool nut,
still have the clay till I decide how to test it.). The techniques
used to make the pots, the feet ,and tight fitting lids, they are
known for ,were unique to me. The tools were a necessary part of
making the feet and lids. Pretty neat. A very worthwhile workshop.
You might contact the Clay studio to see if they might have a way to
contact the potter and see if he was planning a return visit to the
US so you could set up a workshop.
I have several hand outs and I remember there being a good
article in Studio Potter years ago. ( read it from their web site),
about a trip to the Yixing studio? factory? area. There are also
several other sites with info if you do a search on the web.

Dear Snail Scott,=20
Thanks for your notes on evaluation. I do that sort of thing.
The tea pots on offer in Adelaide have a very small capacity, sort of =
one cup size.
Yes, they do intrigue but I keep temptation under control.
Best regards,
Ivor

Eric Suchman sent a post to Debbie Nolan about the Yixing workshop, but she
accidentally deleted his e-mail address before she could say "Yes Eric, we
still have room." So Eric, please come to the workshop. You can pay for it
at the door. If YOU accidentally deleted Debbie's phone # it is (858)
571-5856. Thanks!

Hello Potters,
I have a small, but growing, collection of Yixing teapots that I pick up =
in odd places here and there - mostly museum shops. Love those little =
buggers, and finding myself trying to copy one or two of the designs - =
it's a great exercise. I'm looking for some reference books which would =
educate me concerning the level of quality to look for in a good, or bad =
pot. I'm seeing wide ranges of prices and it's hard for me to =
understand why the disparity. Obviouly, some are more complex and/or =
larger than others, but the price differences don't always seem to track =
with these attributes. I've searched the web and not found much in the =
way of available reference books. Does anyone have any suggestions? =
Thanks much.

The biggest difference I've observed is in the
attention to detail. Some have every seam of
the various mold-formed elements scrupulously
cleaned and smoothed both inside and out, and
the hand-worked elements are elegant and well-
integrated. Poorer quality ones have visible
mold seams, rough luting inside, and ragged
or awkward detail carving. This often
corresonds to a difference in price, but not
always.
Some high-price sellers may think that the buyer
won't know the difference, and they're probably
right often enough to keep asking their prices.
Some low-price sellers may not realize how much
more they could be asking if they could only
attract the right customers. And some sellers
simply buy the things in wholesale lots and
don't really know anything about Yixing teapots
either. Chic interior-decor boutique = higher
price. Flea-market booth or discount import
shop = lower price for the same item (usually).
Among serious collectors, there may be some
hierarchy of preferred styles or colors which
I'm unaware of, but if there is it doesn't seem
to affect the retail prices much.

Judy wrote asking about collecting Yixing teapots. She could try the
following website:
: http://www.xiaopingstudio.com/
This is run by an enterprising couple from Yixing who teach part time in
Arizona, I think at Mesa College there. He did the series of statues of
world leaders presented in Ceramics Monthly or Clay Times. She does elegant
teapots, and is quite exquisite herself. They gave a workshop in Santa
Barbara which was much enjoyed by all. There were teapots and tools for sale
there, very reasonably priced.
