Ok, confession time - I have been on a little spending binge as of late, directed mostly at teaware - These (set of two) arrived on my doorstep last night. They are JL Coquet by Limoges and they are gorgeous.

I know it looks big, but it is actually a sake cup, I am guessing about 4oz - 120ml
Only 3'x3"

Good eyes, I like your taste! Beautiful chaire. I was watching it on ebay too, I think you got a decent price.

Have you read about the history of chaire, how they were originally used as medicine jars in mainland China? Curious metamorphosis.

I've like these things since Chamekke first posted her pics. I may have to break down & get one. Thanx for the link (I think...).

Tea underwent the same metamorphosis. I remember reading somewhere that it was condisdered medicinal when it was brought to Japan from China.
Brewing joy, happiness and green tea, like any good TeaWitch should!
