This week I sadly lost one of my Deishi Shino Hagi cups--swept it accidentally off a desk at work. It was a cup that I picked up one day on my way to work, so it never made it home for a formal photo session...
The edges were interesting
especially when close up enough to see the details of the tea staining between the crackes and below the glaze

Re: Hagi staining
Oh man, this is the kind of stuff I'm bound to do after awhile because I can be quite the cluttered person. Sorry to hear about your loss, debunix. I guess this is an excuse... to go buy more! Quite interesting to see the staining. Kind of makes me want to run to brush my teeth.

Re: Hagi staining
That's how I'm trying to look at it. It was a beautiful cup, lovely to see and to hold and to drink from.daidokorocha wrote:I guess this is an excuse... to go buy more!

Re: Hagi staining
Breakage of ceramics is part of the normal 'Circle of Life'....... it happens. Not nice... but it happens.
If it was really a special piece to you there is always kintsugi.
