Display case for Yixing?

OK, so I was going to build a nice custom wall-mounted display case but time restraints and life has made that an impossibility right now. I went to a local dealer in the mall who sells rosewood and Asian wares but the product he had was way overpriced and way below any sort of quality standards. I just want something nice with a glass front to enclose it, about 8" deep, and traditional looking. Round or rectangular is fine, I can make either work.

Does anyone here know of or have any ideas or solutions they have found for displaying their Yixing? Even if anyone has a web link or two or know of anyplace I can import something from. My web searches keep coming up short.

Thanks!

antique shows or markets?

Maybe an Amish or Mennonite furniture maker in Ohio or Pennsylvania can hand-make a cabinet to your design? They have a reputation for good work using solid wood.

You want a striking piece, eh? Now you're talking. How about one of these:

Striking, but pricey. No affiliation with this store - other than the Canada connection. Never ordered or bought from them either. I just recieve their monthly email newsletter - I must have signed up sometime ago. That's how I know them.

Dominic, this might be what you're looking for, although they don't have a glass front:

Wow! Those are very nice, even minus the glass. Actually those are well within my price range. If nothing else it has given me new ideas for designing my own. Thanks a ton, I knew folks here would have found some cool stuff I've never seen. I really enjoy design so that site has just given me a whole morning of fun.

Hey, thanks all! I figured there was some cool stuff lurking around the net that have evaded my searches. That crown curio is a very nice, inexpensive option. Thanks again for helping out, now I'm excited again to get this done sooner than later.
