Yepp! That's me (and that's the pot that really does float on water - I've tried it). Honestly the shabby background of my room isn't doing the aesthetics of this pot any justice. But nonetheless it is one beautiful piece of practical art. Made from a virtually extinct type of Zisha clay, it steeps up wonderful white, green and lightly roasted TGYs. And since it is extremely thin-walled, it doesn't scorch those delicate tea leaves.
Thanks Ian for letting this pot catch my eye.
