Really nice teapots.

Nice, Herb_Master!

Wow Herb_Master! Those pots are amazing. I love pots with some art on them.

Thank you for the great comments! Lovely pots, Herb_Master.

Herb_Master, do you own a teahouse?

Herb_Master, do you own a teahouse?

No Just gripped by collection fever! The early encounter with advice to have different pots for different types of tea enabled me to go completely overboard and buy one for each varietal.

I have calmed down now, with Fenghuang (15 dark brown pots) - it is 2 for each fragrance group 1 large and 1 small.

Wuyi many reddish brown light brown pots

Taiwan Green pots, Pouchong Blue.

Puerh Black Clay

Black Tea Ornate Pots and so on

This is why I use a gaiwan for most of the teas because I want to dedicate a pot for one tea only, I have only one yixing pot and I use it for Tie Guan Yin.

New Toy from Red Blossom SF. A modern Zhuni pot. Possible a Taiwanese Company Commission. 350ml and good for office brewing.

So cute.

TIM - Nice pot, is that a cigar ashtray? Did you use it just for photos or do you drain your pot on it as shown, interesting!

Yes but just for props..... but hey, that's not a bad idea Thanks Victoria.

Tim, did you make the lid tie yourself? Somewhere I have instructions for how to make one of those, but I have never quite decided if they are a good idea or a bad one.

The girl at Red Blossom did it for me. It's a very delicate art and my big fingers might ruin the act..... I do like to have it, if it is a day to day pot, because who knows when I will drop the lid.... again

I would be more likely to break it with it dangling around,
but it does look nice.
