Re: Japanese teapots and chawans

I see you have a several Heian pieces; Heian Shunpou, Heian Shougetsu, Heian Gyokudou. Curious if you know anything about the Heian kiln/family history? I have a few of their pieces. They are very finely made.

Now that Tillerman has sadly shuttered his shop, I feel we are very lucky in the US to have Floating Leaves still in Seattle. Darrel they source very good...

Re: Oolong Vendor Topic

I order from HY Chen via FB Messenger, others do so on Instagram. He then provides updated price list. I always do large group orders because I know he’s a small farmer producer and doesn’t really have infrastructure to do tinny sample orders. Thank you for the advice, good to know he’s still in bu...

Re: Teaware Repair Show-off

Experimental tin repair. I've used a lead-free plumbing solder here. It took some effort to get it right, since the melted solder has quite a lot of surface tension and prefers to form ball like shapes.
