How many teapots do you own?

About half a dozen pots, maybe the same number of gaiwan, but then maybe 150 tea cups.

Just did a quick inventory and here is what’s in my teaware collection:

2 easy gaiwans
2 rice pattern gaiwans
1 small 100ml gaiwan

3 kyusu pots
1 turret teapot
1 ruyao pancake teapot
1 cast iron teapot
1 tsuki teapot
1 purple clay teapot
1 glass teapot
1 glass test tube teapot
1 large japanese teapot

Total of 5 gaiwans, and 11 teapots. That’s a lot but after seeing how many teapots others have amassed I don’t feel so bad about my teaware hoarding anymore ;-)

At this point, I only steep Western-style and my teaware collection is pretty modest (at least by Steepster standards!):

3 teapots of various sizes (a little one for just me, a slightly larger one for splitting with a friend, and a nice big one for tea parties)
1 infuser mug (which I keep at the office for brewing tea at work)
1 thermos
6 regular mugs
9 teacups

5 clay pots
2 gaiwans
lots of cups
and a Teavana perfect tea maker

Who doesn’t like talking about their collections?! I have about 23 I think including gaiwans.

3 Kyusu
3 gaiwan
7 yixing
1 Japanese clay backhandle
2 silver teapots
1 porcelain teapot
5 Japanese clay hohin
