Time to make some more room...
On offer is this little Taiwanese sidehandle pot.
This is a tea pot made by my pottery teacher Fang Chi Wen.
It has been painstakingly wood fired over a weeks time with Longan-wood. Those who have bought wood fired pots from me from Taiwan before will know that these pots do very well with any Taiwanese tea, be it high mountain, or more roasted, or black teas. Walls are thin. High fired and not porous.
The volume of this one is 145ml.
Handling is similar to a small kyusu and takes some experimentation to find the most suitable position.
One caveat: the opening is small, so a pick or pince is best to empty leaves out.
It comes in a signed wooden box by Fang Laoshi.
Price is 250 USD, plus shipping from Taiwan.
PM me, if interested or for any questions

By the way, pot is brand new, all colorations are from the clay itself.

I have seen a lot of Bok's teapots; so, I am commenting:
For appearance: These & many of Taiwan's teapots don't show all of their good looks well in photographs. How colors vary in darkness and shine over a round pot is hard to catch. Moreover, grey & some shades are not stunning; so, one is not hit strongly & suddenly. There is a lot of pleasure to be had in looking at them, subtle beauty. for 2 years I have had my teapot that is like Boks' pots; &, I find myself seeing more & more of the beauty that its clay & glaze offer over time, making such a pot a pleasure to have in front of me everyday.
For steeping: I find glazed exterior & unglazed interior works quite well overall. For roasted oolong from Taiwan, it is ideal! So much so, that although I like to use a variety of teaware to prepare the same tea, for roasted oolong I use only the pot I have from Taiwan with this combination of glazed exterior & unglazed interior.
