Since flickr is still determined to be the photo-sharing service that jealously guards my photos against intruders from the outside world who would, by invitation, view my photos, I will post most of my teapot set here.



wave
As our tour approached the tea house in Guangzhou, a bunch of people standing outside saw the bus with all the cute little babies in it. They are smiling and waving.

overview
Inside the tea house, we see shelves of teapots on the far side of shoals of adoptive parents with babies, cameras and money.

zodiac
The Zodiac teapot, as seen in the previous post. 14 sides (thanks, [livejournal.com profile] abostick59) bearing the signs I used to see on every place mat when we ate Chinese-American food.

holy teapot!
Holy teapot! This torus-based item looks great, but I'll bet it's a bear to clean.

squirrels
I don't know what squirrels had to do with tea, but they looked cute. Perhaps that was enough.

jars of tea
Besides the pots, there were lots of jars of tea available for purchase.

hello down there
I call this one "Brussels Sprouts Tea."

still?
A complex-looking pot. Is it a still life, or a still?

bamboo
Bamboo in ceramic. Looks like it just naturally grew into a teapot, eh?

windlass
The windlass teapot. There was also one that looked like a well with a similar rope hoist at the top, but the photo is small and blurry, so you are excused from looking at it.

purse
And now, the purse de resistance. I've posted it before, I'm sure, but I love to show it off. It's the leather purse teapot, and its creators well knew the look of the material. It even has the little leather dings (to use TNH's term).

After the tea house, we went outside to the large, beautiful subtropical park, the city's second largest. I was gratified to find some wasabi peanuts at the refreshment stand by the door.
