Year: 1970s-1980's - I lean towards this being a late 70's due to the craftsmanship and the clay quality

Year: Modern
Clay: Taiwanese High Iron Clay Reduction Fired
Filter Style: multi flat hole
Size: 180ml
Usage: Mostly Gaoshan, fresh and oxidized- Once the gaoshan expands the pot seems much smaller and lets the leaves fully expand very nicely. Works well with all teas!

Filter Style: Multi hole ball filter
Size: 118ml
Usage: High fermented tea - works well with many tea you want to smooth out a bit yet retains good flavors

Price: $99 shipped SOLD

I like the Taiwanese volcanic clay pot...looks like a great little pot, specifically if it does what you mentioned to the water/tea poured from it. Unfortunately, after making a few recent purchases, I can't buy anymore teaware right now or I'll be sleeping alone in the backyard.

Are these still available?

Thanks

I'm interested in pot number five and i've sent you a PM.
