This one from Jing Tea Shop is a bit larger at 140ml but the shape and clay look suitable for Wuyi. Jing Tea Shop frequently posts Yixings in a variety of shapes, sizes, and clays so you may want to keep an eye on them. The better ones do sell very quickly and often they have only one of each. You can also contact them about a special order.

I use this one from Jing Tea Shop for various Wuyis. It is 140ml and is made of Lu Ni. It picks up a gloss very quickly. The color in the vendor's pics is blue but in reality this pot is a medium-deep green. Although it is tall versus flat and wide, Jing highly recommended it for Wuyi and I am very happy with the results. It was expensive at $245 but I feel it was well worth the money considering how good the tea comes out.

Sounds like you know what you are looking for already in terms of the pots specs. (I'd look for something closer to 80ml, but that's just me. I like stuffing the pot right to the top.)

The list of online vendors I trust to buy Yixing from is quite short, and then when you add in the PayPal factor, it gets shorter. Keep browsing Jing and Hou De until you see something that fits, OR, you could email both stores and ask if they have something that's not currently listed on their website.

Yes, those are the Yixings I am currently using. I have another dozen in storage so I didn't post those. If you go to "all albums" you can also see much of my Japanese teaware as well. Thanks for the complement!
