Whole new spin on tea porn...

by Mary R » Oct 2nd, '07, 22:38

Long story short, I misclicked something and found myself on eBay's Chinese Teapot Gallery. Normally not a big deal...but then I saw a pot description: New Chinese Yixing Zisha Teapot Sexy Pattern. Sexy pattern? The thumbnail just looked like a pear-shaped pot...

Oh my.

Now I need to turn to the cute little bunny to get the image out of my head...but his carrot talk is taking on Freudian connotations! Gak!

Haha! Space I was thinking the *exact* same thing. The style even looks similar-- I didn't realize the Chinese made art like that.

I just remembered this doozy:

My question is, why is there some random dude chilling at the top?

One more thing, à la FataliTEA:
# Ventilation hole can be seen underneath the lid.
# Flush funnel.
# Rich yellow color.
...
# In excellent condition.
# Lead free and safe for use.
# Single serving per steeping.

Yeah, unlike this one, the first sexy teapot isn't horribly ugly.

I like how the flash reflection "censors" the images in the selling page.
