and suddenly "old" :

Since tea isn't pour over or in a caddy this kind of aging would take decades. It seems unlikely that they just look the same.

I just hope for whoever bought it that it was aged in a way that's safe for the tealeaves.

(I can't contact the buyer sadly)

At least they had the decency to drop the price and not charge extra for "antiquing".

From the same seller... overcompensate much?

Holy hyperbole ting man, that teapot's a real boner....
