Doe anyone have a clue where I can find a 40 or 48 oz Yixing teapot? I have searched but have not found one as of yet. Thanks for the help!

May I ask why you would want a 40-48 oz yixing teapot? Most people use yixing pots for gongfu sessions and I would find it a little difficult to do so with that quantity. If you were wanting to use it for iced tea or something I would recommend a glass pitcher.
That being said I have seen some 20 oz pots but were $300 + so I image that price would also double with the volume. I did a quick google and found a 41 oz pot but since I have never heard of the company I don't want to recommend it.

After asking around in some outside places from this board, I have gotten no answers besides basically "That's HUGE for Yixing." And that's really all I expected to hear.

I've seen some yixing pots large enough for western-style brewing, but I can't recall ever having seen one larger than in the 20oz range.

The reason for such a large pot is there is 5 in our family and we love Oolong tea. Both cold and hot. When my wife brews it for cold she will brew it and then pour it into the glass picture but it is a time consuming job brewing for the big ptchers that she puts in the refrigerator. I will be honest we are still learning Teas and we are not a savvy as some but having said that we drink alot of teas here and a big pot of hot would be nice so we would not have to brew so much in the small pot. I guess it is just a time consuming deal. Our kids take it to school for there lunch also so we do brew alot. Thanks for the help!

I wonder what the pour time on a 48oz pot would be

Presumably you also want a 48 oz Fair Cup
