Teabud, thanks for sharing this story and wares with us! I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing much more. If you open a photo host account with photobucket or flickr or similar, you can post as many photos as you want within a post.

Let me know if I can help you!

Ok lets see if this works

Thank you for posting such beautiful wares Teabud, absolutely gorgeous.

Where's Toki, has he missed these posts?

Hi Teabud,
I love your story - it's is transporting.
In your above post - your photo isn't there - I think you need to click the "Img" button above the typing window - then place the address of the image between the two bracketed elements. When you're doing it, it'll look something like this before you submit:
[img]photo%20address[/img]
(I made it red so it would stand out - it'll just be black normally; oh, and the 'photo%20address' is just me putting that in there where your photo internet address goes).
I can hardly wait to see more of your collection.
Thank you so much for sharing - quite a gift.
all the best,
Seeker

Seeker - paste the url into your browser for a slideshow!

Cool, I'll try it!

Teabud - my humble apologies!
I didn't realize you were linking us to a slideshow.
I have stumbled with my own ignorance.

Please disregard my instructions above as they were probably most unnecessary.

Embarrassed.

Hmmm, I thought Seeker blushed in green!

HELLO

I hope that this works
trying this first

The last photo is a sculpture made by Xu Xutang but the teapot is missing
closer view of tea scoop
Here is a rare grey clay yixing teapot for the Thai market. Its fine burnising looks like a glaze but its been sanded down to a fine glass finnish

I see that only one photo at a time thats ok. but can share more this way also thank you for the info.

Here is a style of Yixing teapot I love the most its called nut and seed teapot. This one pictured here is made by Pei Shiming a yixing artist who died in 1977. He was one of the four founders of modern Yixing factorys still in work today

Here is a crest line rare 19th century grey clay teapot I use for gunfu cha
Its 180cc, and makes a great oolong brew. Its signed but do know how is the artist is.

Here is a fun and large 18th century Teahouse teapot this artist made them for the Teahouses all though China

18th century this artist made large yixing teapots for teahouses made by Qihua Yang Xian

Here is a very nice well loved teapot. Its 17/18th century and unsigned but its very well loved. This is what happends to an Yixing teapot that has tea and time mixed togeather. The effect is like a glaze that covers the pot like glass. I call this effect as well loved teapot.


If you wish for me to show more I will share. I have many old tea cups and teapots hope you share some of your teapots also.

Blessings and drink tea!
