Thanks for letting us know pedant . I've been ordering from Morning Crane the past couple of years. I didnt get my order that i placed in 2024 until February 2025. So it does require a great deal of patience. I think Arthur was quite ill the past year based on communications i had with him, so that ...

Its been a while since I've thought about these teas. Have fond memories of drinking Laoshi's teas when I was first starting drinking tea more seriously. Unfortunately don't have any left to share or send your way. I remember the dong ding being quite good, and certainly at a good price point for wh...

Hey tea folks. Was interested on getting some thoughts and context on people's experiences of minerality in tea. I think it is one of the more interesting characteristics used to describe tea. And particularly from my westerner perspective because it is not really something that comes up in the food...

LeoFox how often are you having to reset the kettle? Thankfully, the process is pretty painless with citric acid as it does the job fairly quickly. I'd doubt there is any type of protective coating that would resist buildup. Probably only way to find out would be to buy a new kettle and do some sor...

All items have been sold. Mods you can close this thread, thanks!

Is that Ishida cup still for sale?

It is still available. Will send you a DM.

If it's still available, I'm also interested. Also like the Sijan and the third soda-fired cup that you made.

I'm also in Chicago if you want to swap in person.

Thanks for the interest. Sent you a DM.

A couple of modest price drops on the tea server and one of the cups. Otherwise, I'll be hanging on to them. Again, all prices are shipped within the US.

Jonathan Steele tea server $50
Taylor Sijan yunomi $50

Taisuke kyusu has been sold, all other pieces still available.

Forgot to mention the green teas that I have available from thes du japon as an added little bonus with the purchase of any piece. 20g of each.

Here are some gong fu tea cups that I made. As I said in my first post, buy 1 or more of the pots listed, and I will throw in one of these soda fired cups for free (there are 3 total, see pictures below) if interested or a 20g bag of 2023 sencha from Thes du Japon. cd1.jpg cd2.jpg cd3.jpg cd4.jpg cd...

Last, a more contemporary piece by American potter Taylor Sijan. I really love the surface decoration on this, but the shape of it really does not suit me and because of that, I hardly use it. But if you are into taller, thicker walled yunomi, this might be for you! Not too sure on firing details on...

Third piece is a tea server by American potter Jonathan Steele, who specializes in gong fu teaware. This is probably the piece that I am selling that I have used the most. However, I lately have been gravitating toward a glass tea server, and I have been using this less and less. Some beautiful surf...

Second piece is a Kizuya Ishida small teacup. It is a mix of porcelain and some other type of bizen clay. A lot of the clay Ishida mines himself, and he does a lot of experimentation with different clay bodies which i find to be really cool. Unglazed inside and out, and I believe was fired upwards o...

Hi all. Looking to let go of some teaware that I dont reach for so much, and hoping to find these lovely pieces some new homes. All prices are shipped in the US. Please inquire for international shipping. All pieces are lightly used but in perfect condition. Will give more details on each piece in t...
