online source for very small yixing pots

I'd second that.... looking for functionality rather than form.

That'll buy pretty good hand-finished commercial pot. Sounds like we have similar tastes - my "tiny" first Yixings at around 100 ml now seem too big for anything less than four people, and I often use a 40 ml gaiwan. Scott at YS has gotten me quite a few simple pots, sending over pix from which we could define styles, then pick out the ones to buy. I got up two in the 50 ml range, one a conventional plain shape, the other with a large opening for dan congs. I also got some good deals on well-finished commercial pots from James at pu-erhtea.com. Site lists larger pots, but you might ask - I've been happy with his quality/price ratio and service. Used to get good ones from MandJs and Silk Road Trade, but both seem to have moved up-market.

This website has six pages of small teapots:

I got one from him last summer it is 100ml, too small for me, i use it when I just need a little tea, or to test a new pu erh.

I think I paid $10-$12

A friend of mine knows somebody from Yixing who can do hand made pots for me, but the order has to be for 3 identical pots (minimum). The cost is something in the ballpark of $40 USD, I think. I've been contemplating such an option, although I'm not sure yet if I really want one. At this point I'm asking for more information from my friend. The ones he ordered, however, are quite nice.

I second the FunAlliance suggestion...
