  I was impressioned by the article on teaguardian.com on really small yixing pots. I think it’s a good choise also for people who like to have lots of tea cups of different tea varieties per day, still using the gong-fu approach on yixing pots to maximize tasting, and without being daily tea drunk. :)I’ve been searching for such 60/70ml pots for a long time, but still can’t find anything in Italy. :(Shopping on the Net is my last resort!May anyone suggest a good virtual place where to find them?

  Buying good purple clay pot on the internet is not reliable. I hardly know any that’s in the English language either. Here is a link to a famous one in Chinese for your pricing reference. They are in RMB (the Chinese dollar):

  Their quality is not so great though, I have bought their brand from a real shop, which is somewhat lower than the wen price, but that’s normal.

  Good evening Alexargon
  
  I have made several purchases at this Ebay Shop:
  
  https://www.ebay.ch/itm/5000friend-Fascinating-Yixing-ZiSha-Minisize-40cc-ZhuNi-Teapot-1920-/290620092533?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43aa4eb075#ht_7839wt_922
  
  The link will lead you to the smallest YiXing Teapot in his selection, ranging from 40 ml to 1400 ml
  
  Teapots.
  
  I have made quite a number of purchases with this Company and have found the proprietor to
  
  be knowledgeable and trustworthy. The quality of his teatoys is quite good and his pricing very reasonable.
  
  The superstition, rumor and pseudoscience found in many Teablogs and Forums with regard to YiXing is quite exaggerated and should be regarded with a critical eye. The quality, age, type of clay etc. will certainly influence the quality of your tea. Realistically seen however, it will not do so to significantly disturb you tea experience unless you have many years of experience, eucation and a very refined palate. Just think of all the wine ‘experts’ among your friends, importantly showing off their ‘knowledge’.
  
  Teaguardian is highly commendable in this respect for providing scientific and realistic information
  
  and trashing the current fashion of ‘Tea Shamanism’.
  
  My recommendation: Buy the pots you like and are fitted to your current research, do the same with
  
  your tea and enjoy your disoveries.
