I was reading an older post and saw that TIM posted this pic:
I am currently looking for a cha chuan(no room for a full tray!) and really like this one. It seems that flower motif is popular but it seems no one sells them online. Anyone know where I can find anything with that flower type design?
Everything I've found looks like
this.
This would nice too:
It seems
EndORa in France has them
I will be in NYC this weekend so I might search in Chinatown.
Googling 茶船 yielded better results but no place to buy. I did found some rather nice ones:
one
two
three
four

TeadOff has some nice offerings from the Korean potters he works with, and sometimes they include similar items. Current offerings that might fit include
these. His topic with more info is
here.

Dang I searched taobao and baidu but forgot to search ebay and etsy... my search skills are declining! I think I might PM TeadOff on a few those they do look really nice! However I'm afraid of their price tag... Thanks for the suggestions.

I believe Tim's came from Fang's tea in Flushing, but I could be wrong.

Makes sense. I do believe Fang's was selling them (or something similar) a while ago. Not sure if they still have any.

Thanks for the suggestion! Searching for a tea stand(壶承) brought better hits. I have to be at the NYC Bike Expo tomorrow so I'll go into China town to see if I can something there first. If not I, I'll head over to Flushing
Any recommendations for Manhattan and Flushing other than Fang's? I'm not too familier with the brick and morter places. I figure Jade Emporium might have something cool.
