Ferg, glad I waited--I can't pass up the deal with the extra pot thrown in! I'll take the Hei Tie Sha and the Fang. Ruyao Aurora glazed cups this time...it was tough to pick between them and the cake batter! :) Thanks, you know they'll get plenty of use and appreciation over here!

Well, the Gisui had been tempting me since the first time you offered it up but my lady friend doesn't approve of mogake at all, or "kelp pox" as we've started calling it after she objected to some pot looking like it had a skin condition, hence me passing it up. I've always liked them though and at that price I can't resist, pm sent.

Keep going back and forth. A tried and true teaware hoarder I suppose.

Chip, please lock this one up before I change my mind again. :roll:

Thanks to all who made a purchase. Hope you enjoy both pots and tea! :mrgreen:

....And have a Happy New Year!

And alas, as the thread hasn't yet been closed, I've once again had a change of heart. I went to make sencha today and ended up making a pot of coffee instead, which I've been drinking over the course of the day while watching the Twilight Zone marathon! But that has become the usual routine for me now, sadly.

Nevertheless, difficult to let these two items go as they're both of such high-quality, but they will stay up for sale. Here are they are, along with further price reductions. Purchase both together and I'll reduce the combined price accordingly. Also, I will cover the cost of shipping, 2-day international.

1. Tokoname Mogake Flat Teapot Kyusu by Gisui 250ml (see page 1 for pics)
$150 (Originally paid $223, so $73 in savings)
Including 100g brand new, sealed bag of O-Cha's Sae Midori.

2. Vintage Japanese Cherry Sakura Wood Bark Tea Caddy Container Natsume + Storage Box (see pages 1-2 for pics)
$75 (Originally paid $114, so $39 in savings)
Note, the Sakura caddy is filled to the brim with Tsuen's AOI shincha, which I filled up a few days back. I'm leaving inside for time-being, but can drop in a bag if you prefer. I'm also throwing in previously opened bags, still in cold storage of fridge, of Maiko's Kinari and a small amount of O-Cha's Yutaka Midori.

Buy both items for $200, an additional $25 reduction for a combined savings of $137 from original combined price paid. And all teas listed above included of course. Please reach out with questions.

Thanks...again!

Ferg, I look forward to all of your sales. If I was not already waiting for 3 pots already in the mail, I would grab this one right now... I can recommend buying from Ferg to anyone, he is a gentleman and very nice to deal with

Thank you for the kind words Bef. Too nice of you. I was actually thinking of the small Gisui kyusu a couple days back. It had been awhile since I last went on your IG thread and happened to see this:

Incredible picture and use of light/shadows. Love that the pot has found such a good home. Hope you continue to enjoy it! :)

I'd be happy to buy from Ferg anytime! Great guy and he sends stuff out FAST! Got my F1 pots, cups and lots of lovely tea samples today. The pots are lovely! I'm curious to see if the calcium deposits dissolve in Hong Kong's soft water.

Drinking 2013 Lao Man'E from one of the cups now. I never would've bought cups like these, but I am thoroughly enjoying the look, shape and weight of them since they're such a departure from my usual porcelain cups. Thanks Ferg!
