Interesting. I am open to it. Do you use the plunger?
The Porcelain Thread
I'll check it out. Thanks. I was looking at M&L earlier and saw that there were all sold out. I'll check back with them from time-to-time.DailyTX wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 6:03 pmgregcssgregcss wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 5:51 pmI typically brew black tea western style and I'm looking for a larger tea pot, around 200-250ml. I am strongly considering porcelain as the material in a traditional teapot or perhaps a Kyusu. What are some reputable vendors that I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance
For that size of porcelain, the cheap route would be vintage/modern jingdezhen made teapots from eBay. If you want new pot with designs here are two vendors:

I am using a 1970-1980s jingdezhen rice grain pot. I think I bought it for 5 bucks lol
Yes, I use the plunger. Almost no leaf material passes it
Mine is liter size. Hope this works for you! I feel it is a convenient tool for western brewing and also grandpa brewing in the office.
What is that teapot next to it?
Petr Novák 180ml (glazed inside) pot that I bought from Klasek Tea (https://www.darjeeling.cz)

I came across this interesting plate, I was thinking of using it for plant water tray or a tea plate. The inside seems like transfer ware while the outside looks like LQER. What do you think?

I was looking for some info on the timeline of different markings and stumbled across this blog post which has a ton of photos and timeline information on Chinese markings from 1950 onward, as well as other posts on earlier period marks, specific patterns like rice grain, so on. Thought other people here might find it helpful - https://watersilkdragon.wordpress.com/
I’d take the money to buy other things I preferfaj wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 9:28 pmI would say the dream is being able to afford that bowl on a whim at the auction...Bok wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:32 pmhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... t-sothebys
the dream...
For what it’s worth, to my taste it’s nothing I’d put on display in my house.
When you have that kind of money, you have enough to get the bowl AND other things you prefer...
Hence the yard sale!
Some modern porcelain!
Side by side:
Dehua oxidation fired cup ( Yiyu Ceramics Studio’s “Buchangqi”-line of Dehua porcelain. Studio consists of Master Artist Huang Yongxing and his apprentices, including Lei Aiguo )
Jing de zhen reduction fired gaiwan ( mud and leaves. I confirmed by email that this was made by reduction fire)
The reduction firing brings out a bluish hue from the jin de Zheng porcelain that has a higher iron content even though it has the whiter tian bai glaze.
