some tea bowls which i attribute to all the guys/girls who post on this forum.

there is a little of all of you in them.

they have names.

winter is first

it is given this name for the Conservative shape and lip.

i guess you know spring the cup for now. it has a more open shape and lip like now.

and summer with the hot boring days just as this cup. it more than likely won't get used that much. there isn't that much to the shape and lip of this one.

then comes fall and the gathering thus the gathered shape and lip

and all together as the year

thank you for watching and please tune in on the next post. until then have a good day.

wow, "spring" is fantastic. I particularly like the grey traveling spirals around the bottom of the cup, very nice work!

I love winter and summer

All of them are great, though - I am just viscerally drawn to those two. Are they actually purple or is that how the color got rendered? I *heart* purple.

i have 2 of the tea pots for sale in golden co. @ Ku cha tea house. i do not know yet what they are selling them for and i was wondering what you guys think would be a fair price for the one in the pics ...........

i have finished a load and it is bisque firring now .....

some net detail on lids we will see how functional they are soon enough....

i also tried my hand at some more art on the out side i think it says first time.....

there are some i read that seem to have a foot fetish hear so check out the feet. they are all new. the evolution from no notch to 1 then the long notch and final style which they all have now 3 notches.

any comment or suggestion please post them i really look forward to hearing what you guys think and suggest for pots.
