In Search Of: <100ml Yixing

[TeaEye]

I'm looking for a pot to dedicate to solo drinking of aged sheng. I've been keeping my eye on Jing's Xiao Pin page, but there are rarely any new listings and the 80ml X Shi I liked was already sold.

I've been perusing my usual haunts: YS, DTH... Any suggestions for other sources?

TIA

You could order a custom made one from Chen at zishateapot.co.uk
Or there is this one if you like: http://stores.ebay.com/YUM-Tea_Less-tha ... ec0Q2em322
Or some really small ones from DTH but they are zhu ni and I'd prefer more porous clay for sheng pu. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Flat-Xi-Shi-Yi ... 35a46e1e08

I think the best thing would be a custom order from Chen, but it's more expensive.

maybe drop Jing an email? They can probably special-order you some stuff

Seb can find you something. Tell him what size, what clay, what general style.

So many people want 120ml or less...why don't vendors sell more of them?

Technically they're harder to make than a medium or large pot (1 liter or so, not referring to the giant sculpture recently shown off here by one of our artisans!) You need nimble fingers to make a dinky pot.

True, but still saw plenty of them in China, Taiwan & HK...and bought a few myself!
