Hope you find this article well and in high spirit.
The above tea pot has been displayed in my display cabinet since many years ago. All of a sudden, I felt its loneliness and recalled its long old story. At the same time I had the idea of putting its story into journal, before it perishes from my memory.
The story becomes vivid in my mind as how it came to my collection. I remember its glory days when it and 7 other 'siblings', formed a complete set. The 'family' was displayed, proudly and elegantly, at one of the tea shops in Kuala Lumpur for many years before I bought it from that merchant. At that time i just started this hobby, I found this piece the most pleasing to my eyes, as compared to some of the recommended ones from my sister's old neighbor. I had just hopped in that tea shop with some of my friends and I met my sister's neighbor there. This was the shop, he used to patronize and he was having tea with his circle of friends. The reason he recommended the remaining pieces to me because the merchant no longer wanted to keep them in his collection as one of the piece was damaged. As a result, he was clearing the remaining units at bargain price.
Since then it has stood lonely at my displaying cabinet and I have decided to blog it with the intention to locate the remaining 7 'siblings' to make up the complete set. Who knows, I may be able to acquire the rest, even if is at a piece at a time. Alternatively, I may dispose it to the other collector who is short of my tea pot to make up a complete set.
To identify the remaining pieces, I attach the photos below so as for you to identify them with ease.
Appreciate if you could join force with me to take up this challenge. So, please drop me an email or through comment should you come across the rest of them which I am looking for. Thank you in advance.
Let us have some fun in searching,
James Oh

Dark nights washed by distant rippling trees
and alien winds covering your eyelids, purifying
like everything, move on with splendid ease
leaving us a message: life will never cease
its sleepy course in vain
in order to attain
rebirth, since Death is not and Life is dying.
The heat around Time's corner waves a scent
for creedence revival of some virtual vampire
as deep inside. A force considered spent
returns from utter non-existence that was meant
to keep us out of breath -
Is Life both Life and Death?
Riddle of the Night! The Day be hot and dire.

Adiós, mis vacas! Que pasa en esta temporada de tristeza?
La soledad se cultiva en las ciudades;
viva la muerte.
Uno no debe imaginar que el hombre es bueno.
El paisaje se despierta en un fiel espejo, pregunte.
La noche ha porches de la siesta en ruinas con pistacho.
Débiles enemigos se disipa amigos sin
valor. La calle es corta.
Hay falta de coherencia, la esperanza y la fe.
Todas las puertas evitadas saludan: No pasarán.

Thanks for dropping and it was very kind of you to introduce all your blogs here. However, it is very unfortunate that I can't read Spanish.
