Show Off Your Pots and Cups XII

Moderator Edit: Welcome to Chapter XII. You can revisit the conclusion of the previous chapter by clicking here.

Just received a neat little teapot from Hong Seong Il http://blog.naver.com/ttogariiof Korea. It's not very big at 150ml, but what it lacks in size it fully makes up in character. Included were two matching teacups which hold about 50-60ml each. All three pieces are glazed in Shino with wood ash accents fired to cone 7 in gas reduction.






Seong il was also very kind to include two Korean teas, a green and a yellow. I believe they are from the Boesong.




Unfortunately haven't had the chance to try the teapot or tea just yet...

Wow, great wares! Really different. Thanks for sharing with us, Chris.

Wow, 8 days since anything has been posted to "show off." You guys have been falling down on the job, I KNOW you've been acquiring teawarez...

Oh wait! I have too! Get back to work, Geek!

New teapot which I've been desiring for many months. Finally couldn't resist any longer:



New biwa that I am enjoying so much:



(ugh. color correction, stat! that'll teach me to edit on the netbook.)


and your little dog too, nyahhahahaha!!!



P.S., there's more where that came from.

Really awesome, Geek! I like the base partially deox fired Kyusu, I have wanted a "plain one" by Shoryu like it for a few years. The Phaleonopsis orchids with the "sun" background is very cool!

Enjoy ... along with the equally awesome Biwa!

Say hey to Murphy.

Ohhh nice pot! Congrats!
Aww sweetie pup!

I thought I might use this for a tea caddie.
The lid is tight, but I wouldn't keep greens in there.
maybe a weeks worth of 2nd flush darj, or something.



I believe I am partial, seing as my sweetie made this.

Woozl, that blue glaze in the canister is beautiful. Your wife is doing a great job!

She seems to have quite a natural affinity for clay. Wonderful stuff!

[Chip]

Tight fit too, she is becoming more proficient as well as naturally talanted. Thanks for sharin' Woozl.

When is she opening her own etsy?

[woozl]

Thanks for all the + comments.
Yeah, I dunno where it comes from, I wish she started up 10 yrs. ago.
However, I am very glad she has found her voice.
Also i love the cool pottery

Seto Yuzuriha handpainted teacup. These cups are traditionally produced and handpainted only by women.

Geek, that is really a beautiful cup! I love the vibrant colors and it has a definite female "vibe."

Yep! But I can still call it beautiful, right?
