Straw Bowls

Post by AgntCooper »

Does anyone have an extra set of the straw bowls that yunzi stones typically come in.

Send me a PM if you'd like to get rid of them. Thanks!

Don't know if you're dead set on the straw bowls that usually come with those stones or if you're adventurous and will seek out substitutes or clever alternatives.
Over the decades, I've used odd and quirky containers for my stones from the ever-popular Crown Royal felt bags to Tupperware to custom-made pine needle woven artwork.
Most global import shops have an interesting selection of woven baskets, often with lids, but they're usually oval or square and they're never exactly the right size.

Have you called any of the major importers of the cheaper stones? Certainly one of them will have a pair of mismatched grass bowls to sell! You may only get one of the four pieces you need from four different suppliers.
