I feel your pain--I drink matcha, but not nearly as much as I do leaf tea ... and yet I can't seem to resist a gorgeous chawan anyway. *looks furtive* Sometimes I even drink non-matcha tea out of my chawan anyway, just so I can have an excuse to take them down off the shelf and hold them ...

I like the red glaze on that one, would it be possible to make a cup which is almost completely red?

Hello Tobias,
Sorry you missed on those two pieces...The Red on the piece, you referenced, was a bit of a surprise. The Red is really a nice color and the satiny finish is really pleasing. So, yes I will be working with these two glazes to recreate the color, I'm with you, I think it would be killer on an all Red piece. I will let you know when I have some.

Thanks Tobias for your support of my work, I appreciate it,
Michael

Well, I was hoping they would still be available until my next payday, I have exceeded my tea budget quite a bit this month.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.

beautiful,i am very interested in your works

Here's three views of the same Yunomi glazed with shino, wood ash and rutile. It measures 3-1/8" h. x 3" dia., it was fired to ∆10 (2345F) in reduction in my latest firing.

Thanks for looking and thank you Yinwenqi... for being interested in my work,
Michael

Sweet shino, wood ash and rutile, Michael! (but only 2 views)

Thanks for the heads-up, I miss the direct attachment feature. I added the third image.

Thanks again,
Michael

debunix,
Ok, how'd you do that? I can get a link and a thumbnail but I haven't figured out how to post the full image. I'm using imageshack.us. I guess I need to look around a bit more.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hit reply, quoting my text, and you'll see it. I just clicked on the "img" (image) button, and pasted the URL for each image between the (img) markers.

It definitely is a cup that deserves a wide audience.

Thanks debunix,
I got it...Thanks for the help.

It IS quite stunning! wow

It almost looks as if the fire decided to create an image of itself on the side of that cup--the signature of the kiln, as it were!

Very, very beautiful!
