Lovely shot!

60s Hongni, well used for years, vs spanking clean.

Looking forward to bring the Bianyuan to the same level.

I’ve seen this lid hole in handle design in Taiwan before, not sure if it originated there or just coincidence.

The pot above still looks like it’s on the student level.

You might also browse the European pottery threads, quite a few of them use unglazed clay.

Two small dishes from the Qing period. About 6-7cm diameter.

Price for two: 950NT

Hello! I have a question for people with a lot of Yixing experience: Do you think that useful statements can be made about Yixing pots made in different 20th century decades? Let’s say you were standing in front of, for example, Zisha Art Gallery in Singapore, as in: a reputable vendor, to ignore s...

@OCTO what can I say, it consistently performs above average with oolongs of all kinds, even among 60s Hongni, this one seems to come from an even better batch.

Two caddies are gone.

Cups above, inner diameter is 5.5 and 6cm. About 20cm high.

Two small white clay caddies. Inside unglazed. Not really suitable for long term storage. Short time at the tea table.

About 6x11cm

Price for two: 600NT

Second is a roasting vessel from Japan. I bought it new a few years back. It’s meant for baking sesame seeds or, which is what I got it for, tea.

Slowly and with low heat to wake up a tea.

Good as new, as I only used it once or twice.

Price: 1000NT

First up is a lovely set of two wood fired cups. Taiwanese clay, made by my pottery teacher.

Coarse clay, some glassy spots from the ash, metallic sheen, thick walled. Good cups for Puerh or older teas.

Price for set: 1000NTD

Spring is upon us and some stuff has been overdue to cede their shelf space.

Will add some more stuff to this list according to what I find while cleaning…

It’s all prices without shipping. Snail post probably best option due to long distance from Asia and comparatively low value.
