Daylight here this time of year isn't fantastic but here are a couple more. By far the thinnest spout of any of my nixing pots. I still haven't been able to figure if this one is mold made or wheel thrown or some combo - finished on a wheel maybe? The inside has a lot more rings and that little cent...

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 dribb...

I recently came into a Nixing 4 cup set, with a Begonia pot and a caddy. I believe this set to be unused, given the pot still had clay dust inside. While I was doing an initial boiling rinse, a bit of hot water spilled out onto the polished surface, and left a rough to the touch surface. I've attac...

how is that one? It seemed quite pricey for such a young tea, but I see now the material was actually originally from 2013. I find a lot of KTM's liu bao very hit or miss though. Recently I have been trying out some of Tea Side's liu bao. Haven't had enough time yet to make accurate judgements and ...

that is very good to know! I'll be looking forward to finally trying their tea then. I've found some other Malaysian vendors just don't even reply when I inquire about overseas shipping.

Enjoying hill town aged Liu bao 2011 from legend of tea this morning.

Do they actually ship outside of Malaysia/Singapore now? Or were you lucky and got someone to send this to you? I have been curious to try their teas.

Quite the sideways bird on there! I haven't seen other totally slipcast pots like this before. I imagine the clay is pretty different consistency made more up of the softer clay usually used to make nixing, but maybe it could even be totally different. Also no idea what this could mean for productio...

I'm sure some people would buy 50 g just to try it. I think this statement as a general thing could be applied to ANMO and a lot of EU vendors. Aside from importing being expensive and a major headache especially in Germany, VAT, paying rent on a store front in this particular case, so on... consid...

Probably varies by where in the city you are, but overall it looks like it is around 14 degrees, very hard. Also my pipes taste/smell off.

I have mostly stuck to and dialed in a recipe that is a tds of 106 that I have found gives me the best balance of aroma, mouth feel, and extraction power for fermented teas. I find going too light leaves darker teas lacking. Unfortunately I still haven't found a solution yet with either getting an R...

Ah great, thanks! I have a couple more with some different carvings I should get up on here.

cheers! now to clean it up and see how brews. this is the 3rd of 4th F2 pot I have now, if it is one, and each of them have quite different clay. so also would come as no surprise then too if they alternated between multi hole and single hole and other filter types over time. I guess F1 did this too...

Maybe someone here has an idea on this one... I haven't cleaned it up yet. I have so far just been told it is likely not F1, which I figured - the seal doesn't match the ones I have seen on the F1 versions of these pots I have seen. It is single hole unlike most of the F2 pots I have seen. So I am w...

...from Jingdezehn. From what I have seen the work is going quite a different direction than producing your typical white ultra thin porcelain work the region is know for. The pots are thicker and heavier looking made from creamy glazed clays. The work I have seen I really like, though searching in ...
