Soapy Taste in Some Clay Cups
Hey all! I recently got some new teacups ( https://www.markmohlerpottery.com/shop/set-of-two-aprx-45-ml-teacups-in-shino ), but unfortunately not long after they were washed with dish detergent. The detergent smell is proving very stubborn; I've tried boiling the cups in filtered water for thirty mi...

Re: Jian & Tenmoku Bowls
I've got two pieces by Petr with a similar glaze, one with a similar shape: https://live.staticflickr.com/7859/45796620054_0cdabc21e0_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/7805/46468320602_04bb4b320c_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48818091027_6fa332646d_w.jpg I wonder how he made those bro...

Re: Jian & Tenmoku Bowls
I have some tenmoku cups from verdant tea that are good quality. They are in stock too: https://verdanttea.com/teas/jian-zhan-tu-hao-traditional-hares-fur-cup/ Thanks for pointing this out! That's certainly a nice cup, but I think I've made a few moves that will keep me satisfied until I'm back in ...

Re: Jian & Tenmoku Bowls
Usually the stuff sold at the roadside is third class trash from Taobao... But of course anything tea related is a lot cheaper in Asia. You can find a lot in shops everywhere antiques, vintage, new. Many potters here do them as well. I'll no doubt be doing some serious shopping the next time I'm in...

Re: Novák & Randová Teaware
Does anyone know whether Petr takes requests as his partner does? Hoping to have a few teacups made and it doesn't seem that he's released anything new in some time. Petr takes orders, you can email him (or PM on Instagram if you’re there). Be prepared for a wait of several months, though, as his w...

Re: Jian & Tenmoku Bowls
Maybe I’ll just have to do some looking the next time I manage to make it to Taiwan/Japan. Ive heard of stands at the side of the road in taiwan and Japan selling tenmoku cups for much cheaper than you'd be able to get them at online Western catered vendors. So that might be a good idea to wait. :o...

Re: Hojo Tea
Any particular reason you're thinking of buying Taiwanese oolong from Hojo instad of a Taiwanese vendor, or a vendor specializing in Taiwanese teas in the US? Is it just for the convenience, since you're getting some other stuff from him anyways? Only asking out of curiosity. I've haven't tried any...
