You've convinced me to join in.

Most of my tea wares:

The white gaiwan in the middle at the top is by far the most used brewing vessel. My favourite cup is the small white one with the unidentified fruit (peaches, apples, lychees?? confirmation would be good) it was bought for pennies from a charity shop over 10 years ago and has seen me go from years of lapsang teabags to spending extra hours at the office to justify gracing it with fine tea.



My yixing:

The second pot from the left is by far my most prized and is dedicated to dahongpao, I've just placed an order with Guang to give it more of the love and attention it deserves.

I'm quite taken with Blue ipomeas flower cups.

:D Well, as far as I know, at the end of it all size isn't what matters the most. it's the contents. ^_^

Just thought I'd post my collection...

Image

On the left is my bodum tea press and my rarely-used tetsubin from the local cookware store.

On the right is my matcha bowl (Upton), scoop, whisk and whisk holder, and my upton variable temp. electric kettle.

On the tray (Hou De Asian Art), I have my trusty thermometer, my kyusu (Rishi), my white gaiwan and three cups that I never use (all from inpursuitoftea), my cup from target (that I use pretty frequently), and my zisha gaiwan (Dragon Tea House).

Click the photo for a bigger pic.

I'm also in the market for some yixing pots and some more gongfu-ware, so my collection should continue to grow... muahahahaha...

Oh yeah, and in the top left corner, that's part of hungry hungry hippos.

Re: Show off Your Pots and Cups!

Some pots and gaiwans... The teapots are pretty small - all probably in the range of 60-150 ml. The gaiwans range from probably 70 or 80 ml to ~ 175 ml.

Wider shot w/ some random things of tea and more cups / pots / fair cups.

All of my pots and cups don't even fit on my tea storage units let alone in one photo...and I haven't taken pictures of any of the antique teaware I bought, either....so here's just the family portrait (posted here before?)

^ My Kyushu style teapot for Sencha's. About 150ml. But I rarely drink Sencha, so it's mostly collecting dust in my tea cabinet.

Image

^ My Yixing clay teapot exclusively for aged raw (sheng) pu'er. About 200ml. Lately, it's seen quite a lot of action and good stuff.
