Actually, I would not mind giving it a go, but what do you do with the handle thingy on the side. And what do I do with my pinky when holding such a cup?henley wrote:Go drink your grass clippings & mind your own business.Chip wrote:Girly...with or without the OBO.henley wrote:Now this is my kinda teaware!

The rose is hypnotic, I must confess!!! I first thought there was a rose sitting in the cup. This would be perfect for asamushi cha, which would allow viewing the rose while drinking.
Trent, your basement must be magical!!!

It's very simple--you hold the cup using the handle. And technically, the pinky should NOT be extended, unless you want to be pretentious.Chip wrote:Actually, I would not mind giving it a go, but what do you do with the handle thingy on the side.

Who buys these mysterious silver teapots, and why? Are they owned mainly for display? Or are they available for "high guests" only (who never actually manifest, because even Great-Aunt Jane only warrants the bone china)?

Pretentious...this cup beckons me to be such a TeaSnob. How can one not be at least a little pretentious sipping sencha from such a royal cup?
Trent, rub the side of the silver teapot...
