Thought I'd share a new chawan I received--made by Ralph Nuara on Etsy, and given to me as a Christmas present by a very thoughtful friend! It has some gorgeous brushed glazes in golden-brown and ivory, though sadly this picture really doesn't do them justice ...

I liked them, they're actually white chocolates so there's no cacao in them.
