Any one else like Yixing tea pots?
Just like many people here I love my tea. For my taste there is nothing better than Chinese tea from Yixing pottery. Yixing is a province in China which produces, for my tastes, the best tea pottery. Some Yixing pottery is extremely ornate. But I prefer a more subtle style, like these.
These two are a small tea pot and a tea decanter.
Anyone else want to share your yixing pottery?
Some old photos of some of my teapots
My most used teapot which is about 8 glasses size (I think it cane be classified as lixing hu (pear-shaped teapot) though it is a little different:

A very small 1 glass size wendan hu (pomelo teapot):

Classically shaped yixing teapot that I actually gave away as a gift:

I'll take photos of others as time goes on, just realized my camera is out of batteries. Would love to see people's teapots, great thread!
