It is a whole experience to talk, drink and see all he proposes, and I am extremely happy to have one of his creations to drink my puerh. I can't agree more with you, Stéphane, David's objects are deep and alive not to mention inspiring. I have had it for such a short time, and am already in love with it!Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974841837365616896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-65144685338750313062010-07-04T22:41:50.867+08:002010-07-04T22:41:50.867+08:00Thanks CelinaThanks CelinaTeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-65669310064970391502010-07-04T03:01:05.917+08:002010-07-04T03:01:05.917+08:00Hello Stéphane,

The more one 'plays' with it, the more one feels attached to it. There are items I delisted, because I couldn't part with them after using them for a while!TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-58835790313772059712010-07-02T05:24:53.409+08:002010-07-02T05:24:53.409+08:00I am a lucky owner of teapots and tea items made b...I am a lucky owner of teapots and tea items made by David Louveau. I have other teapots perhaps more beautiful, but definitely without a soul as are the works of David. His objects should be used every day in order to be understood, come inside you and enhance the taste of tea.<br />MarcoMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768093184593499410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-12046057726005511852010-07-01T09:58:18.542+08:002010-07-01T09:58:18.542+08:00Drumhum,

Yixing is more neat, elegant...<br />However, over time, I found that there are also quality differences in Yixing ware. Many molded pots lack a certain life, spirit. <br /><br />Yixing clay can also vary greatly. Modern cheap pots mix all kinds of stuff to make the pot look good, but this makes the tea taste artificial.<br /><br />David Louveau's teapots are handmade and feel unique (not cloned) and gifted with a strong, powerful personality. They are not refined gentlemen (gossiping behind your back), but rather strong and simple knights with a pure heart. A good king would love to have them at his table!!<br /><br />As for practicality, the question should be: does it produce good tea? Well, I agree that they are not good fits for green, white, yellow and light Oolongs. But with puerh, they rock!TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-6672482541025792972010-07-01T05:40:14.248+08:002010-07-01T05:40:14.248+08:00I have refrained from commenting about this potter...I have refrained from commenting about this pottery but it keeps being mentioned. Sorry, I just don't appreciate this tea ware at all.<br /><br />The devine elegance of yixing pottery or the delicate refinery of the porcelain gaiwan and tea cups are a joy to behold.<br /><br />To my eyes Mr Louveau's stuff looks like its come from some sort of prehistoric age, before decent pottery techniques had been refined. Or, dare I say it... like something from a school pottery class.<br /><br />Come on, we have found better ways of making cups!<br /><br />I agree, that Mr Louveau's production techniques are most interesting. And his pieces make fine curios too. But can we get real? As a thing of beauty, or even practicality, the teapot hardly compares to a fine yixing pot.<br /><br />I'm going to stick to what the chinese have been using and developing for hundreds of years.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but I nearly fell of my chair looking at the cups featured in your post, dated January 25th! Not exactly fit for the kings table are they!!??????<br /><br />They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.drumhumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558608533551558844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-45231611843297412952010-06-30T15:26:08.671+08:002010-06-30T15:26:08.671+08:00Ah!
