How Many (Duo Shao 多少)- Part One

“How many teapots do you have?”
Short answer: “More than a few”.
The long answer (abbreviated)
I don’t collect to view, I buy to use. It’s just that I have an addictive personality.
I’ll limit this catalogue to YiXing Teapots, Glass, Ceramic and Porcelain can wait for another day.
Calligraphy Brushes / Tools, Power Tools / Bicycles / Climbing Gear / Kayaks /Train Sets and Slot Cars will not be attempted.
Buying teapots goes back to the mid 80’s when I started working in Singapore.
It started with a wicker basket a pot and two cups, unfortunately damaged during a move a few years back. There is a great back story in making that purchase, but I’ll save that for another day.
