These golden painted cups, teapots, and serving pots seem a bit out of place in one's tea room and even on this blog. They are such regal pieces. They would seem right at home in a large pompous tea room mysteriously darkened by low hanging eves. Surrounded by silk-framed coligraphy and a gold or silver kettle, how wonderfully would the dancing flame of a candle light flicker off these pieces?

Noah,
Slick indeed. Thanks for stopping by.
Karen,
Ha ha ha... (extra hardy chuckle because of the mortgage housing crisis in the USA)
Laughs aside, these cups are only painted gold, so its not as though they are that pricey.
Ginkgo,
The gold really gives these pieces a unique feel. Hummm... Baroque... never thought of that.

tsultrim topded,
Wonderful... one never thought of that. Gold on the inside of the cup is a symbolic gesture, an offering to the tea... brilliant.
Where will you be traveling in Korea? If you are near Daegu let one know and we can meet for tea.
If you are just in Seoul be sure to check out the many tea shops that line Insa Dong.
Peace
