You're jealous, aren't you?

And yeah, it's a tokoname.

Ebay! Can you believe it? $20.49 -- although shipping from Japan is going to be almost as much.

You know how something just draws you to it? I was half hoping that I wouldn't win it because it was a bit pricey with shipping. But I really love the blue color. It appears that the tokoname artisans know how to come up with some beautiful blues.

This was off auction, but the seller seems to be selling quite a few. Look for tokoname Kyusu. His current tokoname kyusu for sale is:

He also has some other kyusu.
