Cheap teapots...

by auhckw » Oct 21st, '10, 06:00

Though it is as cheap as USD8 each for all these, some of it sure looks good.

My only concern is what kind of clay is it...

I can't believe that with the vast sums of money that you have been spending on high-end tea over the last 4 months, and all your contacts with well placed KL shops that you would even be contemplating these 'cheap-ies'

If you can happily fork out shop prices at Hojo for Shigaraki, Banko and Copper - you can get some fantastic Yixings in various parts of KL for $70 - $90

Haha... I didn't mention I am planning to buy em :mrgreen:

I am a frequent at the particular teashop, and they just updated their facebook with the teapots above so thought of sharing em here cause design looks nice.

Anyway, recently I have a bit of itch over yixing teapot but under control. I am thinking to look for a pair of teapot for my raw and ripe.
Preferably it is made from old clay. No hurry on the hunting though... Need to learn up first...
