Oh man--I knew I was going to be in trouble if I went and looked, and I was right! On the plus side, there is now a new Christmas present to myself that should be heading my way ... I just couldn't resist the gorgeous yohen effects on this pot! :D

(image snagged from darjeeling.cz, since I am still waiting impatiently to see the pot in person ... :) )

I'm sure it will be even lovelier in person, when you use it and see light moving over the surface--like you can see the flame on it again.

Given what I've seen of Petr's work, I have no doubt you're right! Now I just have to patiently wait for it to come into my greedy hands... :)

thank you very much for your support! I like this pot and I really looking forward to hear your feedback and your impresions when you will hold it in your hands and (more importantly:) how your teas are going to fit in.

Here is smaller one, without those impresive yohen effects, but feels right. 60ml, unglazed, high iron stoneware.

It arrived! It actually got to me on the 30th, the day before New Years, and I actually didn't have time to christen it until New Years Eve. Which I think is oddly appropriate for my 'phoenix pot'. I didn't get a chance to take pictures with decent light until today, but now that I have, I thought I'd share...

I love this pot--it has a nice surface texture, amazing color on the clay, and is very light and thin-walled. So far it's brewed everything I've thrown at it like a champion. More pictures posted up in Teaware of the day, if anyone's interested. :D

Beautiful!
I actually bought the 60ml unglazed version pictured in the post above yours as well. I've been excitedly waiting. Saturday we got a note in the mail that it arrived but we weren't home, so now I've had to wait the rest of the weekend so I can go pick it up from the post office on Monday (later today!)

Thank you for sharing!! I have to admit, I like this combination more and more (this red clay with charcoal reduction fire). So I am happy to see that tea folks around aprichiated as well. Thank you for your support!

Picutre from today testing. New Year with new Mirka's stove and new kettle of mine. Working nicely...( And yes, snow is down, rainy January. A bit strange for this season...)

Enjoy!

Beautiful works, Petr--as always, I'm tempted to throw money at you for more than one of them! But given that I've already snapped up one of your 'gems', I don't want to be *too* greedy ... :mrgreen:
