'Yixing teawares are prized because their unglazed surfaces absorb traces of the beverage, creating a more complex flavour. For these reasons, yixing teawares should never be washed using detergents, but rather with water only, and connoisseurs recommend using each tea vessel for one kind of tea (white, green, oolong, black, or puer) or sometimes even one variety of tea only.'
It is 3 3/4" high by 6 1/2" long by 4 1/2" deep and weighs 10.9 ounces.
Share Our Strength ~ No Kid Hungry
It's heartbreaking to me that one in every seven children in our country does not get enough to eat, so for every sale I make between .00 and .00 (about half of my listings), I donate 10% to No Kid Hungry.
Returns
It's extremely important to me that every buyer is happy with their purchase, so I go to great lengths to represent each item I'm selling as accurately as possible in my description and pictures.
If you are uncertain about the condition, origins or age of any item, please ask questions before purchasing, because ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
My Goal
I love finding treasures and passing them along to others who will love them as much as I do, and your happiness with your purchase is important to me. Therefore I'm asking that you please contact me directly with any concerns, and allow me the opportunity to correct any problems or mistakes.
Because positive feedback is crucial to buying and selling on eBay, any kind words you might be willing to send will be very much appreciated, and I will reciprocate.
Shipping
I use Priority Mail and First Class Mail almost exclusively.
All items are very carefully packed (often reusing packing material to lessen the impact on our environment and to save money) and in most cases will be shipped within 3 business days of receiving payment. When possible, I am happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.
With any form of shipping you will automatically receive a tracking number from eBay.
