Ha! I have the same pot, but in dark clay.
I call it a side handled yixing.

I visited an old village last weekend and did some shopping. I picked up some antique teapots, tea cups, and tea trays. I thought I'd share. I haven't cleaned them yet, so they'll look a lot nicer when I do. They date mostly from the Qing Dynasty with some from the Republican Period.

[Victoria]

Wow, great! Those are all yours or those are from
where you bought them?

[IPT]

Those are mine. I took the photo in my tea room at home.

[Mrs. Chip]

Those are mine. I took the photo in my tea room at home.

Yikes!

Wow, I can hardly wait til you post the pictures of them after they are cleaned!

Thanks for giving us a 'sneak peek' of your Tea Room ... perhaps moar shots of it coming up?

[Victoria]

Cool! More close up please! Those trays look great. Will you leave them rustic?

I like this kind of white. Who is creator, Victoria? Very nice.

Thanks Laura and Petr, it is made by artist Hozan Tanii for Hibiki-an:

The green glaze is called beedoro, the white glaze is call namako.

So although this looks like a glass pool, I think it is a glazing technique, if I am reading the description correctly. It is definitely more beautiful than my pictures can convey. I love the matte glaze and the smooth cool feel.

I will clean them, but I will leave them rustic looking. They're from a Qing Dynasty Tea Shop and they were beaten quite a bit, but I think that adds to their charm. I could restore them to new condition, but I feel, what's the point. If I want new appearing ones, I could buy them. I buy antiques for the history of the piece.

[Victoria]

I agree, I was just wondering.

[IPT]

I cleaned them this morning. When they dry I'll post photos.
