So what should I be looking for to match with Shou? Dark, porous, high profile pots?
Has anyone looked at lukevecent on eBay?

I only want to have 3 or 4 yixing pots to use.
One for red/black, ripe puer, raw pure and roasted oolongs.

for delicate teas, I only use either a glass teapot, or a gaiwan.

Low fired qingshuini or zini IMO. If very clean storage with no off flavors, you can use hongni, but that's only for very good pu that has been aged beautifully! And I always go low profile for shu and pu in general, unless it's uncompressed sheng maocha.

zhuni? Did you mean zini?
