I really liked the extra crosshatching type work in the glaze on the bottom half of them! cant wait to use themChip wrote:+1.iannon wrote:Grumble.. yeah i looked back at the seller history to see what a lot of stuff went for and gave myself a hard stopping price..BUT to be honest. comapring to some of the "retail" sites still not too bad plus I really dont mind paying a bit for the hard work of someone that does handmade art/craft
Actually, you still got them below retail which is around 21 USD a piece.

Tim, I just wanted to say that... I've fallen in love with your teabowl {blush}TIM wrote:
One of my favorite, use it almost daily. Develop a bright shine to it, which is very interesting.

I've been lusting after something similar, but worried it wasn't large enough for matcha... which is what I'd want it for. I saw your posting yesterday with matcha in that one... so now I am wondering if it's from the same vendor I'm checking out... they had quite a few. Whisper in my ear.

Love those cups, that is my favorite shape!

Very cool, Marshaln! Seems a lot of Hagi sets come with 6 cups (or at least older sets), my one set does as well. Did it include a Yuzamashi?MarshalN wrote:Here's my set of Hagi ware
Oddly, it has six cups. Comes in a nice wood box with the info sheet on the artist, Sakata Deika XIII. The kyusu is a bit big, so I haven't really used it, but I occasionally use the cup sometimes.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”
