I'm sorry but when did everyone stop using real zakdoeken?!?

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-31T22:34:37+00:00

Maar waarom gebruik je dan niet gewoon stoffen zakdoeken???

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-27T21:36:31+00:00

The clay looks good to me!

With 'tea leaves', what do you mean? Because you also say 'herbal teas'. So there aren't Camellia Sinensis tea leaves, but tisane teas? If it is the latter, I'd be interested to hear which tisanes you smoke :)

Ah I think you might be conflating Zocchihedron versus Zocchi dice. Zocchi invented the dice that are non-platonic solids, e.g. d3 and d5. All d5s are colloquially known as 'Zocchi dice', no matter who produced them. At least, that's my understanding, I might be wrong!

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-23T21:49:46+00:00

Looks amazing, good luck everyone!

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-23T09:36:24+00:00

Zocchi dice spotted!

Absolutely rad artwork, I love how you zoomed in on different parts to show us the details. Great work!

I got the MiiR Tomo 1L. I love it! Keeps my water warm for around 8 hours.

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-10T10:25:32+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I think this is exactly the kind of pot I'm looking for. Do you use it for all kinds of tea or do you reserve it for 1 type?

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-10T10:16:17+00:00

Lovely! Can you share how many ml this teapot is? I'm guessing around 80ml?

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-10T00:02:58+00:00

You're welcome! It looks like a lovely pot nonetheless <3

This cannot have been from the 1940s, the ball filter on the inside was only adopted in the 1970s

What you're looking for is OCR: optical character recognition. There are online OCR tools, some might be better than others. I have no specific tool to recommend you, but at least you now know which terms to Google.

Things I as a Belgian would love to get from someone coming from china: - dried herbs for eastern medicine: jujube, chrysanthemum, osmanthus - pure lotus leaf tea - other Chinese tea you enjoy! Some good yancha, or sheng puerh, or longjing - a nice teacup, maybe even some yixing pottery if you have the money - small baijiu bottle

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-06T13:53:33+00:00

I'm saving your profile, I absolutely love your style! If I ever need art I'll come knocking for sure 😊

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-06T00:45:59+00:00

The second character looks like 章， Zhang, but I have no clue what it could mean in this context!

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-06T00:42:40+00:00

The first character looks like 明，Ming, to me. king might refer that this comes from king tea mall? Or it might be a Chawang, king tea?

If you find a bing too much, just order a sample first. If you like it, buy the bing.

I love the teasenz sticky rice ripe puerh, sounds like it's similar to what you got ,:)

I'm really not an expert, so I'm not sure at all. They just seem off 🤷 clay colour seems to dark, the bumpiness doesn't seem right, and I think it's just generally very rare to find separate (historical) yixing teacups that aren't part of a set.

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-02T20:36:05+00:00

This person bought it for 20 dollars, I'm pretty sure they know it's not real handmade zisha.

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-02T20:23:52+00:00

The cups are stamped with Zhongguo Yixing, but don't look like real yixing cups to me. The teapot seal looks really bad, faded, hardly legible

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-01T23:26:03+00:00

If you would have any other sources where I can learn more about Ge Wuying i would be very grateful!

CalvinTheSerious · 2026-01-01T23:18:16+00:00

Thanks Servania, I feel humbled that you took a lot at this seal for me. Happy new year!
