Cute pot! It's very hard to make pots that small. You'll have to make a how-to vid. Like the underglaze, too.

In that vein, these are pieces I pulled out of the kiln the other day:

Fantastic, Bears! I can't believe how good you have gotten so quickly. Trioxin, good to see you surfacing.

Bears, I just love that tea tray. Beautiful. Can I ask what size it is roughly?

You need to open a web shop! :D

Here are a few of my latest acquisitions. The first teabowl, sadly, arrived broken into 2 nearly halves, and several smaller pieces. The shipper somehow thought that one thin sheet of rice paper would be adequate wrapping to travel half-way around the globe. :roll: Shame too, since it had a matching tied box and everything.

It was a really nice looking chawan.
But the other ones are quite nice too!

Very nice gaiwan, Danibob. What is the approximate capacity? You are going to have a lot of fun with it!

Geekgirl -- nice chawans. How many do you have now? Like 20? How many do you plan on owning when all is said and done?
