10am PT Live Auction: Frieren Inspired Tea Set
November 19, 2025 at 09:43 AM PST
Posted by Soraya
A set of two white cups with saucers, creamers, and of course a tea pot sits atop a table next to a plastic figurine of the anime character Frieren. (Note: the figurine is NOT included!) The set is decorated in a blue so pale it's nearly white and has a delicate motif of lotus flowers inscribed along the middle of each piece.

The auction has ended, raising $3000 USD for the children and inspiring James to dance 3 times in succession! Thank you everyone who participated (watching and cheering for the bidders counts as participation), and congratulations to the winner!

THIS AUCTION WILL BE LIVE AT 10AM! Join on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/desertbus

We can't all revisit our past and try to learn from it... or wait, yes we can! And if the anime Frieren inspired you to do that just as its titular main character did, perhaps having this tea set in your home will be a daily reminder to stay that course. Its Mirror Lotus decorations and pale blue tones inspired by Frieren's hair pay subtle homage to the anime while providing an elegant tea service for any occasion.

Please NOTE: The Frieren figurine is NOT included in this auction! It's pictured here solely for scale.

To bid, log onto Twitch and make sure that you have linked Desert Bus donor account. Then type your bids into chat after the auction starts at 10am PT! Good luck!
