Thanks Cheryl, I just got one like that yesterday too. I had one before, I was very fond of it. It feels so good in the hand.

It does feel very good! My dog came woke up and asked to go out just as I was starting my morning cup. I wrapped my hagi in some towels and when I came back my tea was still warmVictoria wrote:Thanks Cheryl, I just got one like that yesterday too. I had one before, I was very fond of it.

Great links- thanks for sharing! I was expecting a more japanese-y sounding soundtrack but loved the jazzchamekke wrote:I love all these photos. Hagiyaki is very sensual!

I agree, I bought my first piece because the curiosity was driving me nutz. When I opened the box, I said out loud: "Ohhhh!" The pictures cannot really convey what "it" is about Hagi. It just feels different from almost any other pottery I have. The closest in my personal collection is a thick-glaze shino bowl which resembles the glaze on some of Yamane Seigan's pieces.Victoria wrote:It seems to me having a Hagi piece in hand would
change a lot of tea drinker's minds.
Absolutely - there is something very pleasant in the dense-yet-light, rough-yet-smooth quality they have in the hand. Impossible to convey in pictures. A lot of great pottery is that way - you have to hold it to get the full story.GeekgirlUnveiled wrote: I agree, I bought my first piece because the curiosity was driving me nutz.

This takes me way back... something from the seventies, I think? Oh yeah:Ms Kita B wrote:I have a nice little guinomi on the way. The feet make it so adorable.
You have good taste. I received this GIFT Seigan guinomi on Friday! It is perfect in every way. A beautiful gift. You will surely love it.Ms Kita B wrote:I have a nice little guinomi on the way. The feet make it so adorable.
