tibetan teapots
Just wondering if anyone has a tibetan teapot or if you could tell me anything about them. I see many on ebay...they are very pretty/different and was curious about them. Thanks!
Honestly, they scream "danger, Will Robinson" to me. There are just so many--often identical--pots from so many vendors going for such cheap rates that my mental equation does not balance. I've not bought one, so I can't speak as to their quality, but I wouldn't trust my leaves in them.
I'd bypass them entirely and invest in a cheap yixing pot and a gaiwan. There are some reputable E-bay vendors that can help you there, primarily Yunnan Sourcing LLC, Chinese Teapot Gallery, and Dragon Tea House.

Tibetan teapots
Hi, I'm new here, I just happened to fluke on this site when I was looking up info on the tibetan teapots for sale on Ebay. I read the comments and took notice of the general apprehension of your members to purchase any, so I'll just come right out and tell you that I had a few brew last night and my gift card was twitching in my hand, so.. I had a few more to make it stop... and then I bought one. So, now I guess I'll wait to see if it actually arrives and then I'll let you all know if I'll ever make drunken purchases again.
