Hope this is close enough for details.... But still not sure if all or any is Hagi.

I am very confuse.... is hagi ware (萩焼) a subcategory of 瀬戸 or the other way around?

Cheers - T

Nice cups, but I have no clue. Some certainly have a Hagi look to them.

Can you share what the characters mean? Thanks.

I went to Makari Antiques for the first time yesterday (thanks TIM!) and I picked up this Hagi cup by Gaku Kuroda. I love its simple shape and it feels amazing in the hand. I do feel a little like I'm drinking out of a flower pot, though...

That's a pretty spiffy new avatar you've got there, Chip.
You should definitely stop by--they have some absolutely a-maz-ing Hagi and Iga ware.

Very nice Seigan blue pick up. Enjoy!

Wow! I am glad you visited my little secret place in the city. Your pick is most excellent: Hornest, humble and natural, all the important signatures of a Classic Hagi. Congrats-t

Hagi teaware sounded so great and looks so beautiful from all your pictures I just had to see for myself whats so great about hagi. Everything! I just received this Oni Hagi Yunomi cup from artisticnippon a few days ago. The artist is Shibuya Deishi. I just love the character.

The third picture is when I soaked it before use and saw all the little air bubble I just needed a pic.

Wow brad4419, that's a keeper! :wink:

I know you will be very happy with your Deishi yunomi!

Enjoy it ... this is just the beginning of your journey into the abyss of HagiWaresLand. :lol: :twisted:
