I personally stick to porcelain or some sort of glazed ware for my cups. I feel that part of gung fu is the pursuit of perfecting the brewing technique. An un-glazed cup would cause the tea to continue to be effected after the brewing was done. I am a huge fan of my silver teapot. so much so that if...

I am planning on getting one of these from Tea habitat this week.
I noticed that each of her pots notes the artist that made it. Are some of the artist available through tea habitat more desirable or known for higher quality?

Enjoying a relaxing Sunday evening with Hojo’s 2018 Phoenix Oolong MiLan Nong Xiang.

Cheers!!

What was your opinion on this tea? I was just about to contact Hojo about getting some.

Thanks so much! Super excited to try it!

This thread took an awesome turn. Great read folks:)

I use hongni for my yancha teas.
Your pot will probably perform closer to porcelain than you think.

My humble submission....

90s Thin walled CZ pot.

Cheers!

That is a breathtaking pot my friend!

Brent D 1300 for a authentic, pure Zhuni clay from Qing era is frankly not much. You pay more or slightly less for a modern (real and pure) Zhuni. For sure its more reasonable, but still around twice what id pay for a teapot. I could see myself spending around 700 tops on a pot, but its interesting...

Sigh...now look what youve gone and done... Email sent. Id imagine they want over $1000 though. Lets see if they respond. That is Qing Dynasty! $4000 Easy. I would not bother with the ones they do not display the price. It means if you do not know how much this is worth, don't bother! :mrgreen: :mr...

Brent D Hmm I’ve contacted them a few times w/o any prob. Maybe check your spam folder if you haven’t done that already. I’d contact them again if your serious about buying authentic zhuni. This one is currently available still. http://zishaartgallery.com/product/老壶-3/ Sigh...now look what youve go...

You should get back into vintage yixing. You can still find great deals on pots but that usually requires knowing more than the person selling it. Flea market, vintage shops, thrift, eBay and estate sales are good for this type of buying. The best way to significantly lower your risk of getting rip...

I have completely stepped away from buying vintage yixing. The prices have gotten out of control here in the USA. Very few are willing to spend over $1000 USD on a tea pot. I once bought a late 60s hongni for $275. I feel thats reasonable. I dont think I could find that today. I used to spend hours...
