I'm offering some of my extra teaware. Shipping is from Montreal, Canada.

1) Pair of antique porcelain plates together with wooden mats.
Plates: from Qing/ROC period, diameter 14 cm / 5 1/2"
Wooden mats: Made out of old well used wooden (beech wood?) trivet mat. I've used both of them for a couple of month with no issue (no cracking or molding) even when left soaking for days.
Price: $45 USD for 1 plate + 1 mat, $85 USD for both.

2) 1970's Factory 1 "plum tree trunk" teapot. Volume cca 400 ml. Fine Qingshuini clay with nice soft texture (i think it is from the Cultural Revolution period). Very much perfect condition, good lid fit, strong pour.
Price: $110 USD

3) Late Qing - Early ROC "lion & ball" yixing zini teapot.
Volume cca 400 ml. There is a chip on the lid skirt. A 'peasant' pot with rough craftsmanship, which is a part of its charm ("wabi sabi" yet without trying to be). The pour is decent although on the slow side. I'd recommend not filling up to the rim but leaving about 0.5 cm space to avoid overflowing. Good pot for puerh and heicha, with which i've used it.
Price: $130 USD.

Good price for this teapot. I have one and it works well with liu bao. My pot is slightly under fired.

That is a very common with pots from the era. This pot is also in the medium-low firing range: lower then modern standards, but still within a what i'd consider a reasonably good range.

Factory 1, Green label period, Duanni clay, kyusu/hohin, 175ml
Great chance to get your hands on a Factory 1 duanni. :)
It has a fast pour and should be well suited for green teas. It has been used only a handful of times, so not yet fully seasoned.
There is a little chip on the side of the spout (see the 3rd photo). The lid has a small twist to it which makes it wobble in certain positions, but fits fine. There's also a slight discoloration ("flower mud"(?)) on the lid as can be seen in the 2nd photo.
Price: $120 USD (+shipping from Canada)

One more yixing teapot:

5) "Black apple" F1 green label period, 130-135ml. Beautiful dark clay, sort of dark version of black star zini (the actual color most close to the 1st photo). The walls are on the thicker side, good lid fit, fast pour. There is a repair on the handle, which broke off in an accident, and was repaired using JB Weld steel epoxy (which has very good strength and heat resistance) - this is only an exterior repair, the interior is intact. Furthermore there is a small chip (+ few tiny ones) on the top rim of the lid, and another one underside on the lid skirt. Also the lid knob is askew.
Price: $100 USD
