celadon

does anyone know of a good source for celadon tea cups?
Dragon Tea House, and (occasionally) Hou De are the only two I can think of.

Stephane at Tea Masters has a good reputation for everything he carries. He has some celadon wares, but you'd need to email him for his price list.

One thing that confused me for a while is the fact that there's celadon ceramics, and celadon glazed ceramics. The glaze is the crackle glaze with iron in it - see DTH's celadon [glazed] gaiwans for an examples (I absolutely love these - I have a regular gaiwan with this glaze, and although it's too big for my use I wouldn't give it up for anything). The other is glazed to look like jade - often a light green. This latter type isn't really my tastes, but are, of course, the easiest to find.

I would love to find some more of the celadon glazed teaware. Hopefully someone will come up with something here.
