Here is a site that sells it. I'm not sure about the company but I think its from the UK. I think its from Graham and Green. I kind of stumbled on it and was like :shock:

I like the coffee ones too!

here is a cheaper one

In the photo it appears gold but I think it is actually silver. I don't know a whole lot about it.
Thanks, viewing this pot, it appears there is simply a screen at the base of the spout like a common kyusu, yet they talk about removing leaves is easy with the teaball???

Ultimately, I like a clay kyusu, but would not mind taking this for a spin.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

That would be some funky pouring angle!!
I don't think my arms are that long, I'd have to stand up
to pour it.

Despite comments by others, I think that some along the lines of the ForLife designs would be practical. They may not suit many of the people here, but they would appeal to a lot of the people you're likely to get in there. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions myself. I can say, however, that my local tea shop sells mass produced gaiwans for as little as $2.99 each, so if you wanted to keep some in stock for certain teas or more knowledgeable customers then you could likely find some for cheap if you look around enough.

$5 for the bot, $465 for the branding.


Plus applicable shipping.

I would agree those that said that ForLife would work well as well as beehouse.

not really contemporary, more like a couple funky shapes (which you probably also find on ebay), and no idea about about the vendor.

i played with this thing yesterday at a restaurant, for some reason i like the shape (i think because it doesnt have the spout sticking out like a dingaling), (but dont like the lid that much), has a basket filter with really fine perforations.

I have some of those, but mine don't have the shoe polish on them.
