Here is a fake antique I bought a month ago. It was a tea canister. It had a steel top and bottom with a small steel lid. I knew it was a fake, but the wood was very nice and the carving with the tea poem was so great. I cut off the top, sanded the wood and waxed it. It makes a great container for my tea tools. I'm very happy with how it turned out. My tea tools aren't beautiful, but very functional. I've been upgrading for years as I find a more useful piece, so it is a mix of many different sets. The knife, I use for breaking up bricks of tea. It is an old one that I bought in Yunnan. It was used by a very old tea farmer. He carried it every day for 50+ years he told me. There's also a tea pick in there, scoops, tongs, etc.

Here is some of my teaware, I have more but couldn't fit it in the picture :) I'm sure some of my yixing teaware is probably fake. Much of this was gifts from friends and family.

Speaking of Daisen ware... I have 3 different variations of this cup. In a couple of weeks, I should receive a brand new killer camera. It will be better to share some of my Hagi ware. In the meantime here is one of Suzuki-san's cup I have.
