my fiance and I, who is tibetan, would like to buy a thermos like the type we use in asia. i've searched online but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for. i'm NOT looking for the small thermos flasks with screw-on lids that everyone carries around with tea in them. i'm looking for the large kind. they are the type they often have in restaurant in china full of hot water. tibetans fill them with boiled water, butter tea, or sweet tea prepared at the beginning of the day and its kept warm all day to drink. some have either plastic corks or regular cork corks. they are usually plastic or stainless steel (i think?) painted on the outside, and they are glass on the inside. does anyone know where i can purchase one and have it delivered to my house!? thanks!

Where do you live? If you live in or near a large city there will usually be a Chinatown somewhere in the city. I live in Los Angeles and bank at a Chinese-owned bank. I've seen the type of thermos you're asking about; also when I was in Taiwan. I have no interest in those things, so I've never checked the stores in Chinatown, but I think they carry that type, because the local Chinese most likely buy them here since the Chinatown here is the biggest in the area. I can check for you if you like, but how can I let you know the results of my search?
