Show Off Your Teaware Displays

Glass display case from Ikea. I would love an open shelf display, but my 5yo and cats slip in sometimes, so I wanted something with doors. I tint windows for a living, so I added some white matte film that I had lying around that looks like etched glass. Helps soften the reflection from the LED strip I put on the front of the cabinet.

Super nice light display and collection you have going @Darbotek. Which LED strip did you get? I’d like to do something similar in the back of my open shelves.

Thank you!

These are the LEDs I bought, they have a few different options for layout. Strips with connectors, pucks, etc.

I’m gonna chime in and echo this — gorgeous all around!

Thank you. The other motivating factor is that the socket is right behind the case, sitting there, harshing my mellow.

Thank you! When I look at my small collection, I feel like its too much. The only pot I really need is the Yamamoto Hiromi on the far right, it does everything. But there are still a few makers I want represented in the case. I’m also a bit of a Yamada So fan boy, so there will be more of his pieces there very soon.

My latest setup for all of my tea ware. It has a decent amount of empty space for future purchases, although I don’t see myself buying anything new for awhile. I use the top surface area for recently used pot which need to dry.

Looking good, @Darbotek & @Chadrinkincat!

Just moved to a new place a couple weeks ago, hopefully I'll be able to get a nicer teaware display myself this time around.

@Chadrinkincat Amazing collection and an awesome cabinet. Just perfect.

@Balthazar, @.m.

Thanks! I found this cabinet in Philly on 1stDibs for a measly $40. I’m glad I held out for a couple months instead of spending 10x on something new from Ikea.

@Chadrinkincat
Antique cabinet fits lovely with antique teawares. $40 for this cabinet is a steal
