Show Off Your Pots and Cups XIII

[horsencl]

I picked up two of this sweet little cup when I went to the Steepster meetup at Radiance in NYC

[Victoria]

Awww very sweet! I have some like that. Is someone going to do a write-up on the event? Or did I miss it?

Oh oh, it might be too late if you were going to get it from purepuer. They list the cups only.

Or did you see it elsewhere, if so, where?

Yeah, perfect for oolongs.

Hi Chip, sorry for the delay. I bought them from purepuer also. Yup, I am not seeing any gaiwans in this motif at their website now. I should have bought one when I got the cups in December

The meetup was last Saturday. I didn't post it here since technically it's a competing forum. I suppose I should have, then we might have gotten a better turnout. Maybe we can put together a TeaChat one?

No more Hagi for you!!! Repent and turn from Steepster!

Nice fishy cup!

Yeah, that is too bad since I never saw it anywhere else and am betting it is no longer available. I talked to the one owner when I ordered. He seemed very helpful, give him a call!

The all white set is nice as well.

I know this isn't technically a post about teapots or teacups, but it is about pottery objects which were an essential part of every teashop. I'm talking about the cuspidor. A lot of spitting goes on and these beautiful, albeit kinda icky utensils were important in keeping the floors clean. Well, cleaner. I guess it depends on the person's aim.

You have to wonder, how many people spit into those ...

I know. I was thinking the same thing as I had my hand in one washing it out.

A better view of my yunomi from ginkgo, already getting 'broken in' with the glaze crackles now emphasized by the stain of the tea



It looks good with tea in it too





and when you get to the bottom of your cup, you get this little detail to brighten up a sad situation (the empty cup is a little sad, when the tea was good)



This one is like seafoam--white with bits of blue breaking through like the rocks in this image

The yunomi is coming along very nicely Debunix!

Great pieces Tead Off. The cooling bowl is really amazing.

[debunix]

That bowl is stunning.

So is the tea caddy.

Tead Off, that's a great cooling bowl. I love Petr's works.

yesterday I drink a pu er (1993) , just to chage my green-tea long period of drinking !
Such a delight to smeel the odors and to taste this tea.
I uses for the first time a very little porcelain teapot (shino) and a shino bowl . When i put the warm tea inside the bowl, this one make noise : little "burb " : the glaze is singing , the little bubbles of the glaze just reacting because of the heat.

Wow, I love that pot!
