Two gaiwans on a work bench…
My version of “builders tea”, they are perfect for keeping the dust out!
For me, Gaiwans are the in-betweens of tea. They are not bowls and not teapots. You can use them to drink from. I have lovely memories of doing so in a tea garden in China, but you can also use them as a teapot to explore more of the complexity in the leaves… they don’t excel at either of these tasks but sometimes you just want to use one
These have a simple ash glaze and have been fired to cone 10 in oxidation

This is a gong mei white tea. I'm a little confused about the age. I know that I previously sampled a brick from 2009, but the vendor presently has a brick from 2012 on their website. I'm not sure which year is this brick. It was wrapped in foil, which was inconvenient, so I tossed the original wrapper. 
It is totally oxidized. The aroma is dank and earthy. The taste is sweet and quite complex but somehow only in the front of my mouth.
I will link to the vendor in a responding post without tagging the tea bot.
one of my favorite potters (Gushu Studios) just released some new teaware and I snagged this beautiful set
An afternoon before and after stillness:
(i) 2001 Mengsa Old Tree aged puerh; and
(ii) Taku Sugimoto’s performance of part of Manfred Werder’s ‘ein(e) ausführende(r)’ (this was page 980).
Tieguanyin tea and gaiwan.
I bought myself a little 7artisans 35mm F1.4. Of course, as soon as I got it, the weather turned bad. Took some photos at home for testing.

Boxing Day = sleep in, have brunch. I opened a new Taiwanese milky oolong 
JUSTMAKE King Hsuan is really good with eggs benedict!
Just like starting over. New Jiri Lang bowl from Pu-erh.sk, following the unfortunate cat related demise of my previous well seasoned bowl. (2022 Fall Jingmai Red from Farmer-Leaf.)

This lovely Taiwanese white tea (Pre-Qingming Red Jade T-18 Curled White Tea from Taiwan Tea Crafts) and sakura daifuku from Natural Japaneats made such a pretty and yummy combination

When you use ruyao or crackleware, gradually the cracks in the ceramics get dyed with tea stains.
However, if you just make tea in them, the stains are mostly on the inside of the teaware. Not very satisfying!
I noticed Peter from pu-erh.sk's crackleware was evenly stained inside and out, so asked what he did. He said he saves his spent leaves and when he has a bunch, brings some of his teaware to a simmer in water and spent tea leaves, then leaves them to soak overnight. Haha! OK, then! Definitely noticeably increases staining inside and out!

One of my favourite artisans, Helen Kong of Secret Teatime, is raising money for a residency!
Please check out and spread the word about Secret Teatime's online shop. There's beautiful handmade teaware (chawan, gaiwan, shiboridashi, yunomi, mugs, latte bowls) and workshops (the studio is in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada)!

I have a question to whom may know more about the topic:
Recently, I've bumped into a list of "4 famous types of [Chinese] potteries" and learnt of the fourth of them, totally new to me, #RongChang from Chongqing, Sichuan.
The problem is that it's surprisingly obscure, likely due to novelty in application to teaware.
So, if you know something, please tell me!
Especially if there are Western-sided vendors for it!

www.teavivre.comA Brief Introduction to Four Famous Types of Potteries in China – teavivreChinese four famous types of potteries refer to Yixing Zisha pottery in Jiangsu, Jianshui Wucai pottery in Yunnan, Qinzhou Nixing pottery in Guangxi and Rongchang pottery in Chongqing.
New gaiwan to supplement my collection a bit on the unglazed side.
I found that for me an unglazed clay gaiwan works amazingly with green teas, so I ordered my second of that type. And, it is visually interesting too.
