New Ron Mello bowl:

This one is smaller than chawan size bowl I own, about 3.5" so it's nice medium size. I'm using it this morning for my Darjeeling. Lovely!

I KNEW IT!!! I saw it was gone and thought: "I'll bet Victoria swooped that one out from under me." :lol:

Opps!! Sorry! :shock: I dunno about swooped, I had it bookmarked for awhile. :) I was trying to decide since the color was close to the larger chawan. But the size really won me over. How funny that you knew it was me! :lol:

Just ordered this from The Beijing Tea Party (also called Think Beijing, Markets and Languages). I ran across them while doing a search and was impressed by their website, product descriptions, and unusual teaware. I couldn't find much about them or their history, but decided to take a chance and order this Dehua Antique Peking Opera Mask tea set. It's not really an antique, but according to the description it is made basically the same way it was years ago. I hope this "ancient" gaiwan pours better than the modern ones!

For some reason I can never get the pictures from PhotoBucket to show so I've copied the links instead. I get an error message" unable to determine the image size."

Oh, Victoria I had spotted that bowl too...it looks so "tactile".
Here's my new vessels from our very own Petr Novak. (I've not taken any of my own pictures, this is his picture.)

It is a sweet set and I'm so glad I finally treated myself to a bit of Petr's work!!!

Happy Sipping,
Dreamer

So nice Dreamer. I'm waiting for a package from Petr too. His wares are exquisite, aren't they?

Wow Britt, those are beautiful! Very cool!

There might be several reasons you can't post from PB but when I tried one from your album it said it was too big. 640px is the max. I moved to Flickr for that reason, I was tired of resizing for TC.


Dreamer - that is lovely!! I was looking at that one myself!!
Congrats!

Thanks for letting me know about the PhotoBucket versus Flickr. Time to migrate myself, I guess!

Thanks for sharing Alucard, Victoria, Britt, and Dreamer! They are all fabulous in their own individual way. :mrgreen:

BTW Britt, if you switch photo hosting accounts, and delete your existing account, then all your photos on TC that you previously posted will be lost and in their place will be an announcement from the photo hoster saying the photo does not exist. :(
