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, 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.)

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.

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.

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

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