“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

I use most of the stuff I've got.
I tend to purchase a few odds and ends from charity shops, a good portion of which end up back at the charity shop. Jugs, saucers, bowls, cups or a possible little tea table.
I do feel it's more like trying an item than buying an item when the funds are minimal and the proceeds go to charity. Either that or it's how I keep a regular teaware habit going without my wife killing me.

I use most of the tea ware that is meant to be used or is actually usable, but have a bunch of stuff that is safer packed away in boxes until I move out. When I have the proper teas for certain pots, like my gaiwans, Korean infuser cup, and yixing pot, they would get used more, but for now I rotate between my three kyusu and three favorite cups until my other teas get restocked. I do use the other ones, just not nearly as much. I have 14 English Bone China cups with saucers, 4 peacock yunomis, and 3 decorative pots currently in storage until it is safe to have them out. I also have a gaiwan with a missing saucer and a glass pot without a lid that I don't use, but have not gotten rid of yet. In total, including what is packed away, I use 30% of it. Not including what is packed away, I use between 80% and 90%.
Currently, I am not using any of my tea ware, as I am enjoying a cold glass of iced tea that was brewed in a Pyrex measuring cup, stored in a large jug, and served in a generic glass.

I had some Camellia Sinensis Ali Shan on ice to finish the day.
Hope it cools off some tomorrow.

I would say that I use 80% of the teaware I own. I have a tiny gaiwan that I chipped taking it out of the box that I'm afraid will crack open if I use it. And one tiny teapot that I don't use often.
I do use my two IngenuiTEAs (one at work, one at home for iced tea), my Brown Betty and PersonaliTEA for blacks, a kyusu for greens and genmaicha, and a cheap-y yixing for oolongs.
This morning I had some Golden Spring, followed by several glasses of iced Red Rose. (omegapd, where are you?)
What's up with all the spam today? When I clicked View New Posts, there were only two listed that were legitimate posts. Did tea forums suddenly become popular?
