Wow!
I've never purchased a vintage chawan - how is it? Does it have any aroma?
Would you be willing to share pics of the koudai (foot) and chadamari?
And of course I'd love to see a pic of this lovely bowl with matcha.
Thanks, Seeker! I adore this piece; never seen anything like it before. The aroma can be best described as 'old.' My boyfriend has the snazzier camera, but all I had at present was my Blackberry. No matcha shot, though. This baby is far too prized and merrily sits within its chabako display.

Very nice - beautiful mikomi.
Thanks for the shots.
Do I get the sense that you will never use it for matcha/chanoyu?
I wonder if it is somewhat common not to use acquired vintage chawan for matcha/chanoyu?

Shyrabbit's "In Praise of Shadows" once again, this time together with some purchases from Darjeeling.cz: a tray made by Mirka Randová and two "Cha Cha" - candy made from matcha, marzipan and chocolate.

HA, I wondered who bought the one "big blue!" I should have guessed! Just beautiful.
Beautiful ShyRabbit, Tobias, beautiful setting!
Beautiful old piece Takarabune.
And of course, beautiful chawan-s Seeker!

Gorgeous chawans, everyone.

It sure is a beauty. I was surprised how thin it is. It's awesome! Thank you again Cory!
