Re: FS: Teapot collection
I've finally managed to photograph my entire teaware collection! Since there are quite a few pictures, I've uploaded them to Google Photos. I'm currently gathering all the necessary information, so in the coming days, the images will be updated with descriptions (name, maker, type, clay, etc.). I'll...

Re: FS: Teapot collection
Ok, I'll prepare a more thorough overview in the coming days. mhegara The silver pot isn't in the picture because it's in the box :))). Several pieces are missing from the pictures as they are stored elsewhere. This is the silver pot. Essence of Tea is still selling it, but mine has a brown handle (...

FS: Teapot collection
Hi, I’m considering selling my teapot collection. I’ve been collecting these pieces for several years, but with three kids and a lack of enthusiasm lately, the teapots have just started gathering dust. Many of these pieces were either never used or only briefly used. The collection includes items fr...

Re: How did pu'er end up in Hong Kong in the first place?
I’ve found this in the book “Tea War: A history of capitalism in China and India” p.270. Maybe it helps with putting some things into perspective. “The dream of a tea industry revolution was unexpectedly given new life during the Second World War. Over the summer and fall of 1937, Japanese forces en...

Re: Japanese Teaware Vendor Recommendations
Weird, I made three teaware orders from him in the last year or so and never had any issue with communication. Even if I just asked about some teaware he replied within a day.

Re: Hokujo Teaware
I found this now already sold offering of Hokujo. Never seen this kind of shape/glaze(?) from him. Somehow it reminds me of Inge Nielsen work.

Re: Hokujo Teaware
Takeyoshi from http://www.tokoname.or.jp/teapot/maker_profile/hokujo/ might have some pieces. I bought few Hokujo pieces from him. What was not available he restocked for me. Good luck.

Re: Novák & Randová Teaware
I was in contact with Mirka at the start of the year regarding her and Novak’s work and was told to deal with Petr on my own as they are no longer together. She also mentioned some changes on the site - which were probably removing him completely. I don’t know. I have a feeling he will return some w...

Re: New EU VAT regulations
I noticed this a few months ago. One of the solutions that was mentioned while I was reading through is that the customs would probably be paid in advance - I know amazon offers sometimes that you can pay fixed amount when ordering abroad - and therefore became a part of the total cost of the purcha...

Re: Teaware You Think We Need:
So now I always dream about another scoop but don't feel like going into 200$ purchase again. Sedlak's wood works are really nice, but for that money you may just carve one yourself. All you need is a piece of wood and a gouge (round chisel): the easiest is if you use green (fresh) wood and rough i...

Re: Teaware You Think We Need:
Really nice wooden scoop Bok. Who made it? Well spotted, one of my all time favourite tea accessory pieces. One of the few I have never thought of upgrading. It's made by a local Taiwanese wood-craftsman. Means a lot to me, back then I exchanged it with him for a teapot I made. Really nice. It is s...
