Ok, I will break silence long enough to say, 'fraid not on Ryoji Koei.

Maybe a friend I know in Tokoname... Ohara Koichi?

Boy, it would be unfortunate if that family named anybody Heta....

I'd love a chance to get a TC special with the wonderful golden finish of Maekawa Junzo....(made the mistake of going to Artistic Nippon Tokoname page 'just to check the spelling', lost self for a while, so many lovely and distinctive style, snapped self out of it by starting some nice An Ji Bai Cha in a leafy Tokoname kyusu).....Tokoname dreaming.

Two guesses:

Shoryu - his pots are awesome and in a lower price range for handmade pots. I like them a lot!

Something from the Shofu kiln, which stopped producing a few years ago. If the clues are about a kiln 'rising from the ashes' perhaps there are some works from this kiln that are available?
I found that information from here, TjD: http://www.thes-du-japon.com/index.php? ... cts_id=252

I'm intrigued.

Chip - can you say when you will share the news? I'm in the market for a new kyusu and I would hate to miss a good opportunity because I'm away from the forums and miss the announcement.

Thanks!

P.S. Oh, and I'm too new to have a guess

Of course you can guess!

This could happen pretty quickly, within the upcoming week. But as I mentioned, there will be a 3 day official notice prior to going live.

Hold on, how do I set up text message alerts when stuff like this starts coming out again?

I've been having a lot of tea lately, and dare I say might need to spice it up with a new piece of potter?

[pizzapotamus]

Not that I can work it into the clues but my first thought for Tokoname was Kenji. Probably because he made my first teapot, a purchase which was influenced by Chip's glowing praise http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?p=87071#p87071

Yes, still love that Kenji!

Hopefully I might influence you on your next Kyusu purchase!

It did not arrive here ... ... no Kyusu for you!

Hang in there, working on getting all the necessary info in hand.

But also look for more clues to who it is.
