LOL good call. I wonder if it has an entire set that makes up a mountain range

My favorite porcelain cups.
From left to right: 4oz. & 3oz. from Everyone's Tea (Just arrived today, LOVE them!), 75ml from Jing Tea Shop, 40ml Yixing plated from YS.
Also pictured: crappy beat-up "tea table" & Nintendo Wii.

Gave up on my bamboo tea tray due to the strong bamboo smell, so bought this.
Don't know what to call this. Yixing Tea Tray?

Yes, I was thinking they are commonly called tea boats.
But boats are usually smaller for the pot only, right?
This is a tea ship. Haha!

Yep
I think I first saw that cup when you posted in TD.
Everyone's Tea has really great service BTW for those who are wondering.

Haven't been here in awhile. As I was reading thru, got inspired.
And...
made one of these:
first photo attempt:
Needs work I know - not happy with how the chawan blends into the background on the left.
I'm posting here since the 'lightbox' post was on this thread/topic.
The chawan is by Cory Lum.
Cheers.

With more practice, the photography will get better. Of course, the chawan can't get better, because it's already gorgeously perfect.

I think that is the best looking shot of a Cory Dragon eye chawan that I have seen. Very impressive!
