That is cute. I’m just a little obsessed with tiny things right now.

I always love new teaware but my cupboard is full right now. Something has to be extremely exceptional for me to squeeze in another piece.

It is nice. My glass teapot looks so old fashioned.

It’s totally impractical since the color is so dark and I know I’d rarely use it but this gaiwan just calls to me:

It’s really nice but too large and too expensive.

That is a gaiwan for when you have a party…heck…that gaiwan is its own party!

I love it but if I got it I wonder if I would use it or just spend the entire time staring at its glaze

I don’t understand why? From what I understand, Black tea is somewhat acidic, it will eat/tarnish the silver.

Equusfell said

Supposedly it softens your water, making the tea taste very clear. I think the point is for the tea water to exchange ions with the silver for this to occur, so tarnish is a-ok!

Yunnan Sourcing is now sold out of all their silver teapots.

Yunnan Sourcing has restocked some of their silver teapots but are selling fast.

And another shop added to my favorites list lol

It’s definitely an out of this world piece, but it is too big for gongfu tea and too expensive for western brewing. You don’t get a better cup of tea by spending that much.

That’s true. It’s definitely an aesthetic appreciation I have though.

Wow. That is art.

Beautiful. One of my friends who has struggled to have a healthy relationship with money recently realized that for her, money may not buy happiness, but it does buy beauty. The thought resonates with me too.

alone to thee are left,

Yes, very nice. The handle might be useful if the water is too hot. They don’t mention a volume though.

Ubacat said

I noticed that too which is a bit annoying. I always need to know the volume. The actual teapot can be used as a tea cup with that handle.

I had to bring back this thread to share a silver teapot I’m obsessed with:

Maybe I can sell an organ or something :P

AllanK said

And I thought the ones from Yunnan Sourcing were expensive.

yyz said

Lol. They have some teas that are up there too Allan, but I must admit that the Tanyang I had from them was incredible and very well balanced. Pretty pot Nicole!
