Hahaha... My habit, acquiring pots in pair if possible

The 70-80's Duanni lady-like pot's very rare, i couldnt resist but took both

As for the the other pair, i've four actually with the same clay. Very versatile thus i got myself two pairs, both one large one small. I guess i should try to convince myself "buy big free small", hahaha...

The lady-like ones is good for higher fired Dan Chong while the other pair (thin walled purple-red clay ones) works well with raw Pu Erh regardless young or aged

Added on December 17, 2011, 10:29 pmI'm on the verge of getting another three leggy but the price about double the earlier one. I just couldnt force myself yet but that is at a totally different league, the craftmanship. Maybe must kena inception first then only can proceed, hahaha...

Hahaha, sorry Auhckw, no pix have to use imagination. But it's not those long legged type as per previous posts. It's like Shi Piao type ones, the pot is big somewhere 450ml coned shaped. Good clay, great craftmanship

Btw, Tacha has a lovely Shi Piao crafted by the Shi Piao king, i reckon you saw it? Why not consider? That's a beautiful piece, and it techinically meets your fetish

Added on December 18, 2011, 12:47 amAhh... I use to have one Lu Ni pot as well. Difficult to find a well crafted one with good clay though, and not easy to pair with tea

Added on December 18, 2011, 12:51 amPsst pssst, Blueye, the quality Di Cao Qing lid can help enhance tea brewed in the glass pot, so dont anyone dare look down on that combi. Just make sure water level infusing tea leaf come into contact with it

Next up, some good ol' scotch, cognac, etc etc

Added on December 18, 2011, 11:18 pmHey Auhckw, you have more duplicates than me leh...

Either same clay/different shape or same different clay/same shape = Brothers from different mothers mah, hahaha...

Added on December 18, 2011, 11:48 pmYou should try. I'm interested in all beverage... scotch, cognac, wine, champagne not excluded. I'm rather heavy wine drinker previously, but switched to tea due to consumption rate

Slow and steady Blueye. But Yixing market is getting really unstable, i reckon it'll burst soon

Sky-rocketing but at the same time many inferior ones are swamping the market i.e. more and more "old" say 60-80's teapots around. Same goes to tea actually. If not careful, might be buying "parang" instead

Must wait for the next wave, maybe awhile longer to get to sapu good stuffs

Added on December 19, 2011, 1:08 pmOh yeah Cuebiz, it's sure a fatty fatty bom bom

I'm more prone to "4-6 cups" Shui Pin size teapot so that ~400ml one's like FFFUUUUU....

Added on December 19, 2011, 1:12 pmPsst pssst... Hey Auhckw, got to know that the craftman of your god-like cup's coming to Malaysia. Maybe you can get him to scribble your cup punya box, book, etc etc, or even the cup itself. Sure naik harga next time

This post has been edited by KittyKat: Dec 19 2011, 01:12 PM

Sure thing...

How compatible's the cup with various tea btw?

That's my league too, but the market is getting more and more shitty nowadays, i'm getting sick of it. So i leap to craftman teapots, but i'm kinda late too

Phew, if i allow any of my other desired hobby to grow ...But it wouldnt happen anyway

Hey Auhckw, these ones still for sale???

I see... Cuz if you ask me, their 2010 ones are better. That's me of course

Maybe it's just me... I prefer 2010's Di Cao Qing as it's lower fired, most tea drinker otherwise

Added on December 21, 2011, 9:20 amDont worry Blueye, sure got chance one. See... You already manage to score a nice ol' cup

My... DaYi really quick in production

Just wondering, does character of their tea vary significantly? Sorry yar, not a DaYi drinker here trying to get input

Still cant get myself to fully enjoy large factory mass produced Pu Erh, hahaha... Also less prone to blended, sadly. No doubt, some good aged ones are worth drinking, but very very rarely seen in the market nowadays

Wow that's porous!!! If you are using to brew tea, just keep on it and you'll start noticing less sweating overtime. If for boiling water, you can go for few porridge cooking session

Else if you manage to come by a kiln, you can fire it again

Added on December 25, 2011, 2:45 pmAh ha... You too now!!!

Blueye, you should consider passing your teapot thru 2-3X those fake dental wash soaking and cleaning. After that go for few rounds tea cooking and soaking. It might take more sessions to get rid of weird odor completely

I face similar problem with few of my ROC pots, very hectic to get it rite for use. That's why it's sometimes justified when merchants (reputable ones of course) charge extra for usable old teapots

Republic of China period or "Min Guo" era

Added on December 26, 2011, 12:49 amActually it's more than just hold. You have to somehow gargle to allow flow in your entire mouth, then airing, to allow taste to develop... etc etc until i also tak tau the appropriate way to describe
