[Ambrose]

"Sencha Assassin!"

I find compared to my shiboridashi, she really extracts all the last flavorfull drops of brew, making an exceptional cup of tea.

Wow, LOVE, LOVE it Ambrose!! Congrats!

Ok, Geek - enough teasing - SHOW US THE GOODS!!!

Geek, the PetrWares are awesome. I looked too many times to capture that pot. Seems he/she who hesitates is lost.

Also great to see the ChicagoPotter TA SO still making their rounds.

... he/she who hesitates is lost. ...

oh yeah, i was close to one of this nice craquelée-pots, too ...
great ware, geekgirl!

& thx also for the hard work to catch the atmosphere in your photographs!

[personally i'd rather prefer additional pics of all chawans in the "classical" way:
1 "long shot",
4 sides, starting with shomen,
1-2 koudai-pics (for the foot-philos )
and close-ups
...
just for archive/document-reasons]

Thanks, they are really beautiful, aren't they? Two things have "zoomed" Petr Novák 'wares to the top of my list: they are tremendously functional - a real joy to use, and they photograph so well. They BEG to be photographed. <3

Chris' cups haven't shown up here since my initial photos, because I took my cups to the office and use them every workday. I keep meaning to bring them home for one of my little vignettes, but they have become such a fixture on my desktop tea tray that I forget to pack them up. I need to do so though, because the inside of the cup is beginning to look really interesting.

[Chip]

because the inside of the cup is beginning to look really interesting.

I have wanted to ask about this with the cups/bowls in general since after a closer look after receiving them, I saw that they have quite a network of fine crackles.

I have not noticed changes here yet, but wondered if others have?!?

[Dreamer]

Wow, it is such fun to see the wonderful variety of things that show up here! Thanks everybody for taking the time to share!
