The Aliexpress 11/11 sale thread.

That tea tray is unique :) I love the blue hares fur cups. P.S. I’d go for the gaiwan…

Love the cups!

i saw that gaiwan and like it a lot. its more like houhin style

I think I can resist. I got too many gaiwans and I want to get more yixing. I’ve hidden my credit card too, hahah!

what Damascus knife youve got. ive spend an hour already, cant decide

I just got the little pick styled one. It sticks out from the rest. I thought it would be the most logical juice, considering I don’t intend to butcher my cakes.

looks like this one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Damascus-ebony-tea-knife-tool/32232472367.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_1_79_78_77_92_91_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9

I also just searched and I see some that I missed…

I just cancelled order :S

im thinking this one

Oooo! The second one is niiiice.

@haveteawilltravel second is better i think. im considering not only looks but more important is the length of the blade and the grip of the handle. i want to be in full control, dont want any slippery flimsy handles

good thinking :)

some of those Damascus the metal patterning doesn’t go to the edges, so those are fake/etched to be that metal design, if you care about that sort of thing.

oh shoot… You’re right

Ok, I just bought a knife. The seller wasn’t participating in 11.11 but had nice reviews. I ask if they would consider to match to other and they said yes.

ahhh alright. I cancelled my two orders. I’d rather have something real. I think I’m going to wait for CLT to start selling theirs. I was going to bid on their 1st, but my better judgement told me to wait. I’m trying to thank myself for waiting, but…. It looked cool xD

#datknife is gorgeous. But outside of my price range

I am not allowed to shop this sale..

I said I’d only xmas shop… I went overboard. You’re missing out ;)

LOL for real. :)

that first gaiwan is gorgeous!

Nooooooooo, that tea pet is the cutest thing I wasn’t planning on buying anything but oh my godddddddddddddd

OMG… the cute!

;A; I need to stop looking at these. I ended up getting the froggy holder thing and this!!!!!! baby ram

Looks like my sad, unglazed ceramics class rejects are getting new tea time buddies.

That is so cute! I didn’t end up w/ frog. This time…

That’s nice. I have 2 but one is way too small and the other is way too big. This one looks like a really good size.

Just purchased it! I liked the size too.

Yay! If I wouldn’t have one I would definitely get it

I got this for a friend. It’s really nice and works perfectly.

Those are all really cool!

that 100ml gaiwan. i thought its only koi fish. it would be better if i didnt see the, :D

It’s the perfect size! I’m just concerned because it’s most definitely the cheap plastic-y kind of porcelain. But then again, I don’t have a porcelain gaiwan yet ;)
This one looks a little higher quality:

I can’t do thin gaiwans. They burn my fingers. Unless you are going to use them for greens or oolong no higher than 170F

So the bone china one is thinner than the koi fish one? Things that are good to know before I buy!

It certainly looks thinner, but then, they don’t have a pic of the koi with the light shining through.

I ended up with the ducks and lotus, because ducks ;)

That one is beautiful . In a worst case you can use it as a teacup.

I’ve seen 3kg cake in person. It would make a side table once you glue legs on it.
