SOLD Andrzej Bero kyusu / side-handle teapot – 85ml

I bought this in September 2018 direct from the potter. It’s a beautiful pot, in the potter’s trademark red clay. It’s tactile and really lovely to hold. I’ve used it, sparingly, for dong ding oolong and it works well for that, but I’m sure it would be good for any tea. It has had very little use.

In as new condition. £60 plus shipping.

Fat Coin Wood Fired Xi Shi teapot – 150ml

I bought this pot in September 2018 from Bitterleaf Teas. I have used it for shou puerh, but probably fewer than 6 times.

This is what Bitterleaf Teas said of the pot on their website: “This fuller xi shi style wood fired teapot is just a bit too big to stand with its Gold Coin cousins. The finish is also slightly less metallic than its smaller counterparts, however, it still displays a range of colours and subtle patterns across its surface, which change and appear different depending on the viewing angle. These pots hold approximately 150ml and have a 6.5 second pour speed. Each pot is fitted with a large multi-hole ball filter. These pots are made from unglazed clay from De Hua and have been wood fired for 72-80 hours, resulting in a naturally metallic finish. As the lid was on during firing, the inside of the pots have retained a rough, porous finish.”

In as new condition. £60 plus shipping.
