Yixing Tea Pot Posters

[t4texas]

I got this set of three posters from Chinese Teapot Gallery. 100 teapots on each, a good range of old and traditional pots, as well as more contemporary ones. All Chinese language. These are very well done and inexpensive.

Wow, those are great!

One minor point -- none of these are old pots -- they are "contemporary" pots. I'd imagine all are from the past 30 years or so.

Are you displaying them? Framed, matted? I love the posters, but I always get stuck on the issue of how to present them.

Craft stores sell these protectors to hang posters up. They are pretty much just two pieces of sheet plastic and than these edge things that clip on each side to keep it all together. I'm sure you could find something along those lines inexpensively or even try and make something yourself if your the Macgyver type of person.

Those are beautiful posters, if only I had a worthy place to put them up.

Thanks for the advice, Poly. No place is worthy of them, but all places need to be enhanced by them!

I think you can do them inexpensively, but presentably using several methods...or all sorts of more expensively. I have had one simply mounted on foam board by a frame shop for $20. It would have cost about $120 for them to wood frame it w/o mat but with spacers, or the same cost for frame with mat. You could probably do it for less for metal frame without spacers, but that would eventually damage the poster, of course.

If you have a favorite photo you can always make your own at Full Size Posters. I've done that a couple times with tea related snapshots I took and been pretty pleased by the results. I'm lucky, my wife used to do framing for a living and has a great eye for it.
