The main point in appraising a pot's ornamental value is its combination of artistic and practical values. It is confortable to touch and durable in use. Its handle is perfectly balanced. it is perfectly sturdy, the opening and the lid should be ornamental in themselves, and the tea should flow steadily when poured from the pot. A pot with ornamental value will be pleasing to touch and to see. The pleasure it bring stimulates beauty from the heart and bring forth happiness.

Dear Toki,
Looking at your blog I was wondering if you really live in NYC or if you're based somewhere around Shanghai?
I'll soon go to Shanghai for few days and I'd like to go to Yixing. I'm interested to take pictures of teapot processing. Would you have any advice where to go?
Thanks
