Moderator Edit: Welcome to Chapter XII. You can revisit the conclusion of the previous chapter by clicking here.
Just received a neat little teapot from Hong Seong Il http://blog.naver.com/ttogariiof Korea. It's not very big at 150ml, but what it lacks in size it fully makes up in character. Included were two matching teacups which hold about 50-60ml each. All three pieces are glazed in Shino with wood ash accents fired to cone 7 in gas reduction.
Seong il was also very kind to include two Korean teas, a green and a yellow. I believe they are from the Boesong.
Unfortunately haven't had the chance to try the teapot or tea just yet...

New teapot which I've been desiring for many months. Finally couldn't resist any longer:
New biwa that I am enjoying so much:
(ugh. color correction, stat! that'll teach me to edit on the netbook.)
and your little dog too, nyahhahahaha!!!
P.S., there's more where that came from.

Really awesome, Geek! I like the base partially deox fired Kyusu, I have wanted a "plain one" by Shoryu like it for a few years. The Phaleonopsis orchids with the "sun" background is very cool!
Enjoy ... along with the equally awesome Biwa!
Say hey to Murphy.

I thought I might use this for a tea caddie.
The lid is tight, but I wouldn't keep greens in there.
maybe a weeks worth of 2nd flush darj, or something.
I believe I am partial, seing as my sweetie made this.

She seems to have quite a natural affinity for clay. Wonderful stuff!

Seto Yuzuriha handpainted teacup. These cups are traditionally produced and handpainted only by women.
Re: Show Off Your Pots and Cups XI
Geek, that is really a beautiful cup! I love the vibrant colors and it has a definite female "vibe."
