$12,000 tea set















1st prize winner of Taiwan national pottery competition. It comes with a certificate with year, artist information. However I did not have the pleasure of finding out. One and only set in the world, currently resides in Ten Ren located in San Gabriel, Ca. Price tag a whopping $12,000 USD that is. I suppose it takes much more knowledge than what I have to appreciate this set of Yixing tea set.

I wouldn't buy it (for myself) for $100. But I guess I need to see it for myself. I also live in El Lay, CA :)

Ditto! I wouldn't buy it for any amount of money period. It does not appeal to me at all in terms of the design regardless of the craftsmanship.
