Green "glass" bottomed Chawan

by PolyhymnianMuse » Apr 14th, '09, 23:15

I've seen people post these from time to time, and I really want one. That green color at the bottom is the mos beautiful color I've ever seen! :lol:

Is there a specific name for these types of teaware? Where can I find such a thing?

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

Oy I can't believed I missed this.
I have never seen a bowl that nice.
Probably never will again.

That's kind of what i'm looking for, but the few that i've seen looked more emerald in the pool at the bottom (not only a nice emerald green color but they looked almost like real emerald)

Btw congrats on the swap :P

I stumbled upon that place but most of what they have is way out of my price range, and to be honest I'm not real big on the really "brutal" looking teaware :wink:

Well I can't help you in your search for precisely what you are looking for but have you thought of googling for 'borneol' ? They often do it in Green with a darker pool of green at the bottom.

I have purchased 3 of each of the Bowl, Leaf and Flower from Yunnan Colorful and am delighted with them all.

Lovely to drink from, or sip in the case of the flower and the leaf. The cups are a delight to hold and have a thick lip which seems to heighten the flavour of intensely brewed wuyi or viscous Tie Guan Yin Wang - when it slips over the thickish rim and your lips.

Bowl - oops he seems to have sold out!
