Do you still remember how much is that Ox?

I did not ask about the Ox, I think the cups were 60RM each

Hello Everyone,
I am new here, but thought I would post a couple photos of some of my celadon.

Here is one of my DongDao Ru Yao pieces when I first got it with some young ShengPu. It's about 90ml.


Here it is again after a couple months use.


And here is my new piece. That is after only one session with a young Bulang Sheng.


It took my Dong Dao a couple weeks to get like that. This will be my new Sheng cup. It feels great in my hand and it is a fair bit smaller than the DongDao cup, so I don't feel like I am hogging all the tea when I steep with my smaller pots.

Hi Shangers. Gorgeous photos!

What are the little coasters made of? Are they wood or stone, or something else?

Thanks IPT. Actually, they are just some green slate I found on the side of the road while I was walking the dogs a couple weeks ago. They started off really green and after a week, looked like that. I think they must've been using them as paving stones for a walkway, and looks like the workers just threw the small bits off into a ditch. Anywaym I thought they looked nice and were flat, so I guess I lucked up this time.

Beautiful celadon cups, Shangers! The second one reminds me of an 80's punk rock band, Devo. Anyway, really cool cups. How about an interior shot of the second one.

Nice salvage on the slate!!!

Here is a shot of how it has seasoned after 3 days. Took my DongDao Cup forever to look like this.


And for good measure. Here is my 90ml DongDao RuYao cup next to one that I haven't used.

Shuuuweet cracklin'!!! Thanks for taking some photos and sharing! So the exterior ribbing does not translate to the inside at all?

Hey Chip. No the ribbing is only on the outside of the cup. I like how it feels in my hand, but I think it might distract a bit if it was on the inside. That said, maybe I will suggest they make one and see how it looks.

Here's an update on the Wu Yuanzhong Cups I got a while ago. They are staining nicely They are quite small, only 40cc. I love his pieces, they're so unique.
