They delivered it to you today, on Christmas day??? That is astounding indeed.
Awesome Mogake, and this one is a pretty good deal too.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
A friend of mine used to do a well-paid overtime shift on Christmas delivering express mail packages. He particularly enjoyed the astonishment of the recipients when he showed up with their goodies on this day....

One of 3 of these "Mr. Goodwill" kyusu floating around TeaChat. Nerikome, carved, cut. Unknown maker, sasame screen.
Re: Ode to the Kyusu
My new much-loved shigaraki mame-kyūsu. Some better pictures than were posted in the 'pots and cups' thread.
For senchas. Odd cage strainer...
Gotten from the gf's grandmother. The signature is too stylized and I can't read it...not even sure if it's right-side-up! The handle broke in transit, so we had to take a trip to the hobby store...

I love the design on this--so simple and elegant! Not to mention the really intriguing ripples of blue on the glaze underneath ....rdwrer wrote:Gotten from the gf's grandmother.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Those are very nice firebug; I particularly like the lighter colored ones. Here are some pictures of my first (and still my favorite) kyusu. It is 8.45 oz and has an obiami strainer.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Obviously this is the superior Mr. Goodwill Kyusu!
Bryan, I have looked at this Momiji (Japanese Maple) Kyusu quite a few times! Really nice.
Thanks Adam and Bryan.

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Have any of you ever tried soaking your Tokoname kyusu in a solution of luke warm water and baking soda for a thorough cleaning? I got this tip from AN and was wondering if any of you have experience with it.
Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Why would you do this? Are you speaking about an old kyusu that has some bad odor or some other kind of problem?Stentor wrote:Have any of you ever tried soaking your Tokoname kyusu in a solution of luke warm water and baking soda for a thorough cleaning?
