I would like to recommend http://www.japanesehandcraft.com/
Though not a huge selection of teaware, I think that all pieces there
are artistic quality. Nice thing about it is that listed prices include free international shipping (insured ) so you know exactly the cost of your purchase delivered to your door. Although I bought only one item from Mr. Yutaka until now, I have to say I was really impressed with the way he does business.

Re: Trusted teaware websites.
Here's two other Magokorodo sites. One is on Trocadero and the other is the Japanese language site.chicagopotter wrote:Cyphre wrote:Any way you can find the websites?

Linked from the Japanese site is this one, but right now I get an error when trying to access it. Usually the page contains many yunomi and matcha chawan similar to whet is sold by their Ebay store.

Re: Trusted teaware websites.
When I have some free time next week at work I will try and organize these a little better. Right now it is starting to turn into a wall of text.

I don't know how I missed JHC when I suggested Zencha and Magokorodo. I've purchased many items from them and their products are artistic and their service is fantastic. I completely agree with your assessment of this vendor.exquisite wrote:I would like to recommend http://www.japanesehandcraft.com/

Since receiving my first two orders from Hojo over the last two days, I would place them high on the list as well

I suspect a serious lack of censorship over the speed/frequency of your buying habit!britt wrote: I don't know how I missed JHC when I suggested Zencha and Magokorodo.

Re: Trusted teaware websites.
Where can I buy high quality yixing teapots, I would like some trustworthy vendors, I would assume www.essenceoftea.co.uk is one of them, but I would need a few more, I want to buy an early qing dynasty zhu ni, and buy it at a good price.
Re: Trusted teaware websites.
Yeah I will organize this so it says what is sold where. I know Hou De is a good trusted site.
