This is Louis from china, I am very pleased to find this forum and to communicate with you, let me make a brief introduction for myself:
Tea and yixing teapot is my favorite, so I sale tea and yixing teapot as my work, but I do not sale it to foreign country. some friends suggested me to sale yixings to other country throug internet, but I have to take in to blew reasons in to considerations:
1. Did foreign guests understand yixing teapot well? Yixing is the only source for yixing teapot for the whole world. But I do not know how many people know this thing. Usually the pot priced for 100RMB and 500 RMB are nearly the same for the person who do not know yixing teapot. In such case, I have to spent a lot of time to help the person who want to buy yiixing teapot but do not know much about yixing teapot. such as the difference bettew half-hand made and fully-hand made, and the kind of clay used for yixing teapot, and shape for the teapot, and the famous handicraftsman in yixing, and etc......
2. If the yixing teapot transport from china to abroad county, the shipping freight is expensive, so customer from oversea may need pay more.
3. My poor english, when I explain some thing to my foreign friends in english, sometimes they do not understand, in such case, it si difficult for me to explain something about yixing teapot, but pls do not worry, I will try my best to diffuse the information about yixings.
