Interesting. Parts of your "private collection imitation" teaware for 120 USD can be had, I suppose from that same "private collector", for 3 USD, enough to do one image search. The imitation crackle celadon you mentioned was there yesterday before you posted this comment, and now it's gone. This d...

I drank Wistaria's 1994 Dongding twice today. The previous aged Dongdings I've had have been undrinkably horrible, being either rancid or wet tasting, so my expectations were low going in, and they were completely blown out of the water. It had a degree of what I've come to identify as "aged taste"...

Has anyone found any particular luck with finding clay pairings for Hongcha (other than minimally altering clays)? I've seen some people use Nixing, but I didn't find the results of that enjoyable. I've had luck recently with Staffordshire Redware, but this is quite an unusual clay. I like high fir...

These are different piling steps to the one described in the paper, aren't they?

And, as a third addition, I have a gong-fu sized Staffordshire pot, clocking in at 160ml usable volume, the first one I've seen this small. It's currently being reset with some percarbonate, I'll see about evaluating the clay later, maybe with some direct side by side tastings. A lot of these unglaz...

Enjoying some Tieluohan from Purple Cloud brewed western style. I've been enjoying western style oolong in this pot - I've found the tea to end up a decent bit sweeter than porcelain or glass. High roast goes especially well. These pots were used to brew Wuyi originally (well, this one is for coffee...

Recently, I've been drinking a lot of "Mixiang" liubao from Purple Cloud. It's quite enjoyable, honey and walnut notes. Double steamed rather than wet piled makes it quite approachable. Very nice tea.

earliest pot as far as I can guess that I have, and also the smallest, though I have two others which might be similar time or earlier but have artist rather than factory seals which I am still trying to date. hold around 75ml though usable volume is even slightly under if you don't want it to drib...

re-repair it with something else, in order to make it a usable item. I don't trust glue with boiling water. i see. do you have a plan yet? Not at the moment. It's missing a lid, so I'd want to make a lid, and I'm considering trying to learn or commission some staple repair. While it's not 100% wate...
