POV[edit]

There are at least a couple of unsupported statements that look , at best to be POV:

"unlike more ordinary clays, it is remarkably tough"
"that other types of ceramics simply can’t match"

Can anyone give supporting citaions to these? Without such they really should be removed ThanxTheriac 15:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

What does that book citation "Evil Genes..." have to do with teapots?? 68.164.4.206 19:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159102580X/ref=cm_arms_pdp_dp I have deleted that reference and put in another. Marshall46 (talk)

There is a section in this book about Number One Yixing Factory... one of the few references in english language books that are easy to find. Please restore it. futurebird (talk) 04:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interpretation of Zisha should not be limited to teapots[edit]

Zisha 紫砂 is a style of Chinese pottery, which is not limited to a style of teapots. The term Zisha has nearly become a synomyn for zisha teapots but it includes other works of pottery. For example, look at this photo of a Zisha brush rest with a cicada:

http://chinesenotes.com/decorative_designs_pottery_later.php#cicada

which is a photo of a Qing zisha artifact from Suzhou Museum. For more details see the book Chinese Ceramics. In the book it mentions that most of the early zisha artifacts were pots and jars.

Prices and Type section[edit]

This section sounds like someone pasted a Chinese article onto Google Translate and then copied and pasted it here. The information is great, although the fluidity of the writing seems rather 'chunky'. Most of it makes sense now, I hope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockenit (talk • contribs) 23:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Price & Types & Tian Qing Ni Section[edit]

The writer of these sections is currently selling the bottom pictured teapots on eBay. They are citing sources from their own website, likely in an attempt to draw attention to their listings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:D100:1B70:1CBB:E506:4456:64BD (talk) 02:20, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
