Teaware lust?
Came across this teapot on EBay today. It looks great but I must resist. I need to save my money for tea.

I have to chime in here. Fishies! Totally outside my budget, sadly. :)

yyz: Holy crap. Did not even see those. They’re gorgeous!
Marz: Not sure. I hate it when they are vague about volume. I usually just send a message. Most sellers reply quickly. I found some great stuff searching for “carp teapots” and “carp teacups”

Super cute! :D
www.dragonteahouse.biz is the same company. I don’t know about their aliexpress site but their .biz site is 10% cheaper than their EBay site because they are not paying fees. You can probably get it cheaper there. You just have to create an account and log in to get the discount. They offer free shipping and its pretty fast. They are willing to split big orders into two shipments to ship them faster. Above 2 kg in one package would be SAL I think. They use E Packet in smaller shipments. I have one in transit now, a cha hai and 100g black tea.
I have been eyeing a gaiwan, I think it’s the same price on both sites.
If the gaiwan is the same price on both sites you either did not register with dragonteahouse.biz or you didn’t sign in. The 10% discount doesn’t show up unless you sign in.
Here are two beautiful teapots from my favorite EBay teapot seller. I have bought about 5 yixing teapots from her and one set of yixing cups. She packages everything very well and always includes a nice fabric padded gift box with her more expensive teapots. She includes a wrap with all of her teapots.

Wow, thanks for posting the link allan….she’s got beautiful stuff. But thank god most of her pots are a little big for me, cause that could be a very dangerous place for me!!!

Dammit I don’t know whether to love you of hate you. LOL. That is amazing. I absolutely love it!!! But now I want to buy it, which is bad!
Sarsy, you must get one for your cup!!!
(And yyz’s teaware enabling powers strike again!!!)
This is so pretty:
They’re cool looking. But they also remind me of candy dishes in some of my older relatives houses from the late 60’s and 70’s.
Haha! Now that’s all I can think of!! I think it’s the colour, I saw a similar style in a different colour and it was totally different. Thanks for saying this, i don’t feel like having them anymore ;-)
Can’t sleep so I’m looking at teaware.

Now I want all these things! I always end up liking the things you post on this thread. That sea urchin cup is fantastic! I love the rabbit set too.
:D If I wasn’t in bed I’d be in trouble… Adding to my holiday wishlist. ;)
Oh Etsy, you are dangerous and full of temptation.

Sadly I don’t think I can buy any more cups unless I give up some of the ones I already have.
Beautiful tins! http://www.rishi-tea.com/category/tea-storage

I bought a washi tin from a stash sale here on Steepster, and I love it! I would definitely buy more of them. :)
Does it seem durable? They’re having a sale right now and these might just be too pretty to pass up.
I’m not sure where mine came from originally, but it seems pretty solid. The inner lid is different from those ones.
