Let me show my update on the teapot cleaning - it arrived recently and to my release, it appeared not so dirty as I thought.
Seems it was used as a water dropper for calligraphy so minor ink stains were only on the outside, along with mineral scale residues from around the lid opening and on the edge of the spout. The concentrated soda bath and toothbrush scrub worked well, so I got this nice (as I see it) Zini pot clear and ready for developing its puerh patina!
Its 130ml capacity works well for two cups at a brew - for me and a guest.
I love the workmanship quality and suppose it's from the mid-70s - would love to hear your thoughts.
