Kettle new. Stove was the first I made http://aneybo.blogspot.com/2011/06/grrrrrills.html and it worked with no crack for many months not like the others;) As I can see you have more success in this.
Both are now on one of a balcony in Prague anyway and I have to make a new for myself. Still a clay mix is a point.

Clearly you have never tried to drink a dusty old xiaguan tuo you found hidden on a shelf in a chinese grocery store right beside the fish counter that had been sitting there, improperly stored, absorbing fish odour for the last 5 years. THAT is tea hell!

Haha! ... sounds like Hell indeed, but what was a cause of that. Don't believe that you have used your tea utensils not for the intended by potter purpose ... or did you?;)

hahaha no. My tea utensils are just for tea! Although a chasen might make a good scalp massager... hmm.

As promised, here are some photos of the cups!

I got a fun little tea caddy I discussed with Andrzej on the previous page.



Thanks, AB!

Brandon, nice shot, thanks. I am happy you have got new camera not only for that reason:) I just really very like your pictures I can see on "teaware" topic on TC. I hope caddy is not too small for your needs. best

becuse of raku (not Raku) workshop I run in my studio I had to refresh my pinch technic and made some chawans as exercises. I forgot what a pleasure it is! So just for fun...

First one glazed (from a group of pinched chawans)
