Wow, awesome find! I've had the privilege of seeing some of these pieces in person (clearly a small fraction of their collection).

Here's a beauty... with kintsugi repairs, too!

I just typed 'tea', not limiting to 'tea bowl', and I see tea bowl fragments that are gorgeous just as they are, tea wraps, tea cups, and tea bowls. Marvelous stuff.
