Show Off Your Pots and Cups XVI

[Tead Off]

Awesome new pieces! Enjoy!

Something coming my way from Korea via TeaMerchandiser from TC TA Seong-il through Tead Off at a great introductory price!. Check out the new topic here: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=15515

Thanks for your support and the plug for my new project. I encourage others to have a look and give me suggestions both for other potters to add to the mix and how to make it a better service.

Not a new piece of teaware, but a new realization....I was enjoying some puerh this afternoon, but had brewed it in a larger volume than I normally do, and my favorite little yunomi was holding the heat, taking a long time to let it cool off enough to drink. I was thinking longingly of my wonderful "tempest" cups



whose shallow shape helps to dissipate the heat quickly, and then realized that 'big brother' (in the background above) has almost the same shape, just taller walls, and would be great for cooling and drinking this hotter tea quickly. And while big brother is at home, cousin big blue



is here at the office, and so happy to oblige. This is an especially nice realization because I'd been feeling guilty about keeping this one without using it as often as it deserves.

My new 140ml Hokujo cup and saucer  :D

Wow! Beautiful.
This would go perfectly with my Hokujo shiboridashi which fits the size and also features the white line. I have not found a cup of this particular style of his yet. Tea ware envy!!! :)

I don't have a great photo of the shiboridashi but it can be seen here:



Hokujo's work is great. It is a real step up from lower priced Tokoname. He is a true master of his craft.  

Once again I have to compliment you on your excellent taste in tea ware! I don't think there's one thing you've shared that I did not like a lot!

Thank you very much for the complement Stentor Hokujo's work is amazing. I got this beautiful cup and saucer off of Artistic Nippon, not sure if he has anymore. That Hokujo Shiboridashi you have is a very beautiful piece of ware. Ive seen it in the past but without the white line on it. Ive been eyeballing it for a while, but haven't pulled the trigger I like to enjoy tea in nice wares it adds to the experience
Once again thank you for the complement. happy tea

People with a weakness for little tiny things should skip this post. Close this window. Close your eyes.











My newest teapot arrived today--miniscule hardly begins to describe it:



it's on the lower left. The vast great pot in the upper right holds 60 mL comfortably and 70+ mL if filled to the brim. And here with a ruler for scale....nose to tail, or spout tip to handle, the largest dimension is just 2 inches.



I am most hopelessly entranced by its tiny perfection.

Is it just me, or does sencha really taste so much better from a Hagi?

NICE! I actually have one of the Blue versions too..wanna know a funny story on how those even ended up on AN's site? I found one on Yahoo Japan..and instead of trying to go through proxy services I wrote Toru to see if he could obtain some couple months later he emailed me saying he obtained some and sent me pics of the first set of 4 he got..and so there you have it!

Ha! That's pretty funny... I had seen those on Yahoo Japan auctions, too, and I really debated bidding on one while I was ordering other stuff. Ended up not, but I was pretty surprised when they showed up on AN... good to know why! Small world...
