        Can't remember exactly, but it's made in mainland China and the clay takes on the flavour of the tea, so we've only used it for silver needle. Second or third brewing is best.

        Oolong is brewed in an ordinary pot. Wife takes green tea occasionally as medicine.
        We buy Tetleys by the sackful. Common as muck 🤣

          @AndyD The teapot is kind of hard to read, but the characters on the side, is a poem, and it is supposed to rhyme.

          Reading from right to left on the top, the first character is rain, then clear, then I think practice, and the last one is hard to tell. Reading from right to left on the top, the first character is rain, then clear, then I think practice, and the last one is hard to tell.(Maybe intern?)

          The bottom of the teapot, you are correct, is the maker.

            That is very kind of you to try to read and translate from my inadequate photography. It's nearly 30 years since my in-laws took us to the shop in Malaysia. I'll add a few better snaps of the writing which I find rather beautiful.
