Re: Museum Teaware
I think that the first pieces really made in Hagi (or kilns nearby) were made in the early 17th century and not before.
Thanks for the pics !

Yeah I believe the signs said mid 1600's on the Hagi pieces if I remember correctlyDavid R. wrote:I think that the first pieces really made in Hagi (or kilns nearby) were made in the early 17th century and not before.

Re: Museum Teaware
If there's any interest I can dig out my museum photos from my trip to Shanghai. Their museum had quite a large section dedicated to Chinese pottery and I think I have a few pictures of tea pots there as well....

Re: Museum Teaware
Here are a few tea pots from Shanghai Museum. Each tea pot is followed by another picture with the description.
Tea pot #1:
Tea pot #2:
Tea pot #3:
Tea pot #4:
Tea pot #5:
And finally, my favorite tea pot #6:
Guess what? Same day I was able to buy a tea pot that was almost exact copy of the tea pot #6!!! Sure, the spout point slightly down but that's even more convenient for pouring. The lady at the store was asking for $240, I ended up paying $40.
Here are the pics of my tea pot:
