tingjunkie - Yixing pots for sale!

by tingjunkie » May 11th, '14, 19:27

Hello TeaChatters!

My wife and I just rescued four pet rats that were abandoned in a local park. Believe it or not, we are already pet rat owners, so we decided to keep the new sweeties. Selling off a few pots to fund a bigger cage. :mrgreen: Accepting payment through PayPal only, thanks!

First up, selling my set of two Zen8Tea shui pings. Many folks here on TeaChat bought these guys from the eBay seller and love them. The seller always listed these as 50ml, but in actuality, they clock in at 65ml. Recently, the seller just got more in stock and sold them for for $70 a piece! I'm letting these go at $70 for both together plus shipping costs. Both pots were thoroughly cleaned and then used. The first one for high fire Taiwanese TGY and the second for 1985 8582 puerh. If you notice the second pot has a much shinier texture, I actually experimented by sanding down the outside of the pot very carefully with 1200 grit sandpaper. It was just for the cosmetic look, and does not effect the brewing at all. The pot still takes a nice even patina.

The clay and firing on these Zi Ni pots is great, and they seem to handle a wide range of teas extremely well. Definitely quick to take a nice patina!

Pot 1: Sorry about linking to the photos instead of imbedding them. The forum must have changed how that works and I can't seem to get it right.

Next up is a lovely 85 ml tree stump pot made from great high fired zi ni clay. Lid fit is good, but like most pots in this tree stump style, it dribbles a bit when poured hard. Pot had been thoroughly cleaned and then used for cooked puerh, but I'm sure the clay would handle a wide range of teas very well.

Chip, I *think* all pots are sold, but please hold off on locking the thread for now, as there may be a slight hold up. Thanks!
