It all began with these fishes...
Various cups of the typical Qing batavian style, a gaiwan and soup bowls, a few more at friend's antique store in Beijing. I can't wait to get them next time I go to China.

I love these pictures. The last ones are in the same style as the mainstream blue-and-white set that you can buy in just about any Asian store (and which is in the upper-left corner on RateTea.net), but they're more ornate and more beautiful. It's fun how they let light through in the little ovals.
I too have become addicted to collecting cups (only 1 rice style so far), AND faircups, AND teapots, and most things about tea.
My 3 new Chao Zhou teapots arrived today, trialling the first one with your Da Yu We was a great experience.
Herb Master,
It's a lot of pleasure collecting tea items eh? :)
I am glad you are enjoying the different a chao zhou pot makes.
