My new, humble little Teapot Shudei alongside one of four (the other three are identical) teacups. The teacups are relatively old, but pretty much unused.

four centuries of tea cups

by Deleted User #17777 » Mar 20th, '09, 20:39

I thought to celebrate a new century of posts, i would post four centuries of tea cups

They are sitting on my tea chest open draws. Left to right, a chinese tea cup for export - about 1750, a wine cup for a wedding (has double happiness symbol) - 1850, a mid 20th c tea cup painted in hong kong, and finally, a contemporary japanese tea cup (my current go to)

The chabako is actually darker as shown by the pictures, so I am still looking for a light color chabako to decorate it like this one:

Really sweet Yixing Iannon!

I saw that Sago Olivier and was "watching" it and the mountain scene one. The one I wanted predictably went way too high, and I ended up not bidding on either.

I was following this auction also, but I think 60$ was way too high for such a sago.

+1

I knew it would go high, but 60 USD was much more than I was willing to spend.

So, I got a Hagi kyusu for gyokuro for the same price instead which should be arriving within the hour! :wink:
