Oliverco found them on the Japanese manuf site. They're quite pricey though.

A new celadon piece I just received from Guang. This made by the artist Xu De Jia. It is a beautiful work of art. I wish the photo had come out better.

Thanks for the additional photos. Xu De Jia mixes some of the creamiest celadon-type glazes around. I'd love to see a shot of the inside!

How does it pour?

Very different piece, thanks for sharing, indeed! I am not sure I ever saw Xu De Jia's work before. Where did you get it?

The pot pours quite rapidly. I was a little worried about the Cha Hai, but it also pours very nice with no dribble. Thanks to everyone for the comments!

Those are gorgeous teawares. Very sleek and shapely, and if I may say so, rather cuddly-looking too. I envy! :D

Here is another little pot (Hong Ni) I got from Guang this summer. I am usually not one to pick a decorated pot of any kind, but this one just caught me off guard.

Maybe it's just that I haven't seen too many pots, but I've never seen anything like that kyusu.

Heh, yeah - that's why I bought it. I'm not normally drawn to vivid colors on teaware, but you have to admit this would be unremarkable in solid white.
I am however very drawn to angles. :)

Yeah, the Andao one. I like it very much.

Got my stuff today! It was misrouted in San Francisco, but somehow still got here today. Stateside EMS kicked butt!

The yixing pot is new, but made with clay that had been stored in Yixing Zisha #1 Factory for 30 years. Looks and feels great. Smells amazing! 100ml, ~7 second pour. Amazing!

And here is my new Kamjove. The pour is ridiculously good, it has a nice quick boil, and most importantly, it fits into my scheme perfectly.

Glad your weekend has been saved from disaster. That is one gorgeous pot.

Does that Kamjove hold water at just below the boil or do you have to start over?
