these look really funky. nice
only thing I found at a thrift store was this glazed kyusu by a prolific local potter. his teapots seem to sell for 100-150$ and I got it for 5$, so quite a good buy. it is a bit large for my purposes though, so I mostly use it for making larger amounts of bancha

I have this kyusu >>19314173, which I bought at a thrift store for dirt cheap
turns out it's by a fairly prolific local potter who specializes in teapots and sells his work at pu-erh.sk and other tea sites. it's glazed on the inside, which I think is preferable since I don't know what clay he made it from
it has a simple clay filter that works well for medium and lightly steamed teas, but does struggle with the fukamushi sencha I'm drinking recently. I would also prefer if the teapot was a bit smaller, but other than that it's nice and functional, the lid fits almost perfectly and the pot is easy to handle

bought this Kyusu when I was with a friend at a charity shop yesterday. or rather he bought it for me for my birthday. thanks, fren
judging by the signature, it seems to be by a local artist who sells his wares at pu-eh.sk and thetea.pl
a very fun find for only 10$, I'll test it out today
