Official/Different Yixing Show Off Topic!

[xmfi]

A rather large Yixing pot I received as a gift from a friend from Shanghai a few years ago (don't know much about it) and a small Chaozhou pot I stumbled across at an antique store in South Carolina a year before that. I've posted pictures of the latter before, but the quality wasn't very good.

Flat multi-hole filter
Fast pour and no drips


Award winning "smart phone" indoor shot and edited with PS. I reckon it's ready for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I've been around for a while on this forum but this is probably the first time I post a pic of one of my pots

Current Yixing family. Not an especially large one, I like to use all of the teapots.

Really nice!

Love that flat pot Brandon. I almost pulled the trigger last week on a 10 year old pot similarly shaped. What do you pair it with?

[needaTEAcher]

Here is my latest baby. I call her "Large Acorn". New Heini, 350 or so cc. Using her with a range of puerhs right now, from 2011 sheng to 1994 sheng, and a few shous as well. 14-hole filter, 13-14 second pour, and the tightest lid I have ever seen. Fits PERFECTLY, which is a pain in the arse when I pack her in the box (the tissue paper won't fit!). Thick-walled, medium to high-fired. Picked up in Seoul.

Anyone recognize the chop?

PS-Didn't adjust the color, so with the flash she looks a touch brown. Ignore that. Definitely solid, solid black in person.

Just to get a sense of scale, what are the capacities of the largest and smallest ones? =)

Also, nice uzumaki(?) cloth...

You see! that is an absolutely beautiful family right there. I hope to have a nice core family line-up like that after I sort through all of my tuition pots and one's that don't get used often because there is nothing better than being able to raise each and every one of them instead of just having a bunch sitting on a shelf collecting dust somewhere. Thanks for the inspiring family photo!

Pretty!

Nice family Brandon - whats the story on the blue haired step child ? Usually, there might be a red headed step child, in this case the odd one out seems blue. Is that a slip coat ? or color all the way through ?
