I went for gaiwan.
Multi-functional, fitting in almost anywhere, ready to travel or sit in one place, for one-on-one or with many friends (old and new), short discussions or long dissertations/events. And occasionally people look at me and go
Though on occasion I feel more like other things (IngenuiTEA seems to creep in more than anything else - for some of the same and some different reasons), I think gaiwan sums it up fairly nicely.
Snowbud with lunch - I'm actually looking forward to finishing this sample off so I can order some more!! Just about to heat up some water for some Shan Shui Baozhong in my trusty gaiwan.

There, I fixed it for you, Victoria
Thanks but don't cast your inclinations onto me.
Shanlinxi In my little three legged pot. Thanks Geek for the inspiration. I haven't used this sweet little pot for awhile.

Just a little cutie I picked up at WHF in LA.
Love the flatish shape, all the detailing and of course the
three little legs.

Okay - so I had to ask my sweetheart about this one.
She said "a chawan and chasen, the chawan is the part that holds people and is ever changing in its color and shape (no kidding, this is what she said!), and the chasen represents how you get stirred internally, and how others are stirred by you".
as I write this, I'm just thinking, woh.

Got behind in TC yesterday. Thanks for coloring TD, Victoria.
I enjoyed reading everyone's posts as always.
TD continued with Organic Gamnong fro Hankook and finished with Gamro also from Hankook.

That pot is a Cutie Patootie V!
Perhaps we could get a glimpse of those
'three little legs'?

Thanks! I did happen to take this pic yesterday. Not sure if you can call them legs, little bumpy feet I guess;

Thanks for showing us, yeah ... they look more like 'rests' to keep the bottom of the pot from scratching or very, very stumpy legs ...

Yeah,
wee folk.
But it makes the pot very sweet. It is rather small, less than 6oz. I know it looks bigger, but it is wee overall.

I don't have a clue, really but perhaps I would be a thermos-mug, the type you can personalize and make unique. Meant for one person only, and an inportant item for him/her. I'm not making any love life analogies here, rather I'm thinking of how I prefer having a few close friends instead of lots of aquaintancies. Or maybe I'm just rambling...I'm off my night shift in 15 mins and it's been a slow sleepy night. I need sleep.
