4 new Teapots

In Da Lang town, I picked up 2 teapots and 2 more in Dongguan city.
Once I get them conditioned, we'll see how well they work.
2 were gifts so no opportunity to test .. the other 2 I tested in the store using hot and cold water.
This is number 3 Monkey/Tree pot ..good quality clay and well made.My first "sand/rough" texture pot .. not a big fan but we'll see how it goes.
A deep brown with a hint of purple, a good quality pot.
Not sure why I brought this one home .. poor quality clay, slip moulded! (just to try). It has; good size/volume, pours well, "Poor Brakes" (lid not a great fit) . Some stores "Lap Finish" lids to make it appear to be a "better" pot .. so this is an honest pot, not pretending to be what it is not.
