Those little pots are adorable. I feel an acquisitive streak coming on...when's Christmas?
Although my neighbors are all barbarians,
And you, you are a thousand miles away,
There are always two cups on my table.

My new kyuusu has just arrived. I thought I didn't need one more, but I hadn't so far found such a little one: only 120ml (4oz).

Looks nice. The small size is attractive. Where is it from?

Ohhh sweet! I love the lower profile and the wide top.
It is indeed a wee one.

This is what I use when I drink oolong tea (well, not both pots at the same time.) The pots are from Taiwan, the cup is Japanese.
Love the one on the left, wow!

Thanks. I've ordered one for myself as part of my Olivierco look alike program. That's such a perfect little size for some things.

I also notice that they have the cheapest kyuusu I have seen in a while at $15. Perfect for our student and young noobies who want to brew some sencha but don't want to spend the rent money on a kyussu. Rivaling or even beating Den's lowest price.

Go Game Chawan Set!!! - As a go player I had to buy it.

Never seen something like this, ecstatic to have found it. The box is pretty cool too, that slot on the top is a slide out drawer for the chakin and chashaku, and the holder for the chasen and natsume are both in a little slide out insert with a pretty pattern cut into it.

Ya, unlined. I'll get some inside shots next time I have my camera out. these were off the vendor site. Haven't used it yet, but very happy to have found an antique the right size (~1.2L) and look at a reasonable price (235).
