Today was a very expensive day for me. I bought earrings (multiple pairs!) on Etsy, and also poppets. Yes, more poppets. I think I need therapy. :lol: :roll:
That seller is selling teabowls and human skulls. An unusual mix.

It is unusual, I agree...

Yes, actually. The inside is reasonably smooth, I don't think it would damage a whisk at all. It's a bit larger than expected, and very heavy. The photos in the ebay listing are very accurate.

Five days seems to be the minimum that UPS needs to deliver a package once they have received it.

One thing to keep in mind is that many vendors are a single person operation, or perhaps just a handful of people run it. Various factors can slow down the process that it takes them to get the orders out.

Clicky to go to the slideshow. There are about 10 images, color corrected only. I think my images give a much better feel of Strommen's work, instead of the artsy, moody photos in his ebay listings.

Nice slideshow, nice interesting bowl - I am jealous - I want one - now what do I use it for if I buy one, I only drink Oolong at the moment! use it like a prop for Salsero style photos perhaps!

I meant to bid on a couple of bowls in the last few auction rounds but I spaced it on the ending day... I tend to snipe so I guess that's how the cookies crumble when dats how I rollz..
