Show Off Your Pots and Cups Volume IX!

That's cool. And thanks is what the symbol means?
Do you know what the other side says?

[thanks]

The red symbol on the front is the name of a pu'er tea factory, and is actually two characters with one on top of the other to make their logo- "Da Yi" which loosely translates to Great Benefit. On the back side from right to left are the characters Da Yi (I honestly don't know what the third character is, hopefully someone can help out with this one) Cha. So Great Benefit something Tea.

All right, I think this one is written English-style? (left to right). That character (有) in Japanese is the one meaning "existance" or to "have." It's the "ari" in "arigatou."

So... Tea exists for a great benefit? Using the Da Yi name in a phrase? Just a stab.

I only say it's written left to right because of the ordering of Da Yi........

But neato gaiwan nonetheless

Edit: I should add --

茶　有　大　益 is cha you da yi, left to right (if i can believe my translator, hehe)

[MarshalN]

Cha you da yi is how you read this one -- Tea has great benefits, quite literally, or, more prosaically, There is Dayi in Tea.

Anyway, since this is a teaware thread.... I posted this on my blog already, but for those who haven't seen it...







A pure tin kettle. Not really good for heating water, I think. I'm guessing it was for warming sake. The finial on the lid is a nephrite ring.

Love the pine design!!! Great piece.

[olivierco]

New yunomi (150ml/5oz) which should be perfect for sencha.
I took some time before buying them because five yunomi is obviously more than I need and because the set was about 100$ so I might swap one or two.

yum yum!

I got a teapot made by Chen's father a couple of days ago. Due to technical problem, I cannot have my pictures automatically loaded on my post. Here is a link to my pictures:

It's about 200cc. Yes, I have seasoned it and tried it. I'm still in the process of getting used to it though. On the whole I'm please with what I got and the piece does show some very good workmanship.

Here's my new chaire:

see if this works
(still trying to figure how to post jpeg)

Edit by Chip... your photo. If it is a jpg image, left click the image and copy the address.
Then in your post click Img icon, inert the addie, click the Img icon again. If you hit Edit for this post,
you can see how the code appears.



Thanx I got it now

Love that chataku!!! I have a real affinity for that symbol on pretty much anything!
