New teaware, all from chaikhana tea culture.
left: qing dynasty cup
lower right: unknown date, unearthed in a Chinese farm
upper right: Korean cup from the 1880's
all plates I use as "tea boats"
bottom: japanese, turn of 20th century
middle: Chinese, [ EDIT]mid 19th century
top: unknown origin/date
In my opinion, the history/details of some of these pieces are too interesting to pass up, so I'm planning on doing some Mattcha style reviews on my blog.

They don't have a website, but I overheard the owner talking about creating one. They're a small one man operation, and the owner personally travels to china to buy pu erh in yunnan, talk w/ the local farmers etc... He has a huge collection of antique teaware... chests and chests filled to the brim w/ yuan dynasty cups, hare's fur bowls, song dynasty bowls, qing blue/white etcTomVerlain wrote:re chaikhana tea culture - do they have a website ? I googled and did not see it - I like chinese blue and white wares, as well as older chinese stuff in general ...
