That's a really sweet pot! Not looking much like a tiger to me though.
And what is that on the handle? I'd like it better without that. Still a sweet pot!

Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
I agree with Victoria. Its a sweet pot but I'll love it with out the animals. The shape is delightful
Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
These are the other 2 special edition teapots that the shop has too, I decided to choose the tiger cause this is Tiger year (the year I started having tea as hobby) and it looked cute to me.

Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
Cool pots! I like the ones from your latest post more, but the first one is interesting too.
That actually works pretty nicely. Thanks.auhckw wrote:*Mod don't like me to spam photos, so I have to cut many and paste into 1

Seems like Tiger and Dragon together have Ying Yang feng shui:-Victoria wrote:Oh, ok. Well I like the tiger.auhckw wrote:Based on 虎形壶钮和龙口形壶把 and google translation/guessing, i think it says:-Victoria wrote:That's a really sweet pot! Not looking much like a tiger to me though.

Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
Here is another version of the Ox. Slighter bigger with a hole to put the strainers
This is also available at the shop. Tortoise. Quite big size. Looks more like dinosaur than tortoise.
Edit: Oh my, seem like there is a Ox teapot out there...

Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
At the Ru Ware shop, they have this limited with serial number Tea set. The serial number is crafted on the teapot, 2 cups and a certificate board with the same serial number.

Re: NEW! Celadon Show and Tell
The pet is cute! He's a happy Ox wrapped in a blanket. Does he spray water from that hole? On the other hand, a strainer holder would be nice too. A combo, so less clutter. The pot is too much for me. And the turtle looks like he ran into a wall.
The handle on the last set ruined it for me. My eyes got glassy as I surveyed the cups, then the lovely pot, but then ... Is that a throwing star? Sorry, not digging it.
