I don't think I've posted this one before, but it's my favorite teapot:
Also, I thought I'd post a little carnage. Small children may want to look away:

I've been puting off taking pics of my teaware, but here I've finally done it! heh.
Here's my tea haven. It's in my room since I live with to other roommates in the house there not enough space in the kitchen. It all works out nicely though.
And here we gots the pots. Two of the Japanese persuasion on the left, and the yixing ware on the right, and of course the gaiwan over there too.
The cups, my dear cups! The 3 bowls on the left were made by Frederic Pagace of France. From the middle to the right, Fumiharu Kino, Kido, Kasho Yasuho (my favorite one), and Shibaoka.
That's about it

Thank you, Tomasini. I allow myself 1 teaware purchase every month or so. It may be vain, but I believe having authentic, artistic teaware enhances my drinking experience, aesthetically and often functionally. Akin to having only art prints rather than actual paintings on the wall: while it does the "job", it's just not the same. But, to each his own...and to his own means.
The dobin on the far left in the pots pictures is the one offered at Rishi (Iwatsuki Koji). Yes, it was pricey, but you can feel the grooves where the artist's own hands shaped the pot...that's a wonderful thing to me.
