The unofficial/official HAGI topic!

Some photos of the one I've named Frosting.



The weirdest thing is the size of the cracks on the inside. They are in giant patches in most places, and some of them even seem to dead end.

Wow, now that's different... it'll be neat to see if they "fill in" with more time.

And on the outside as well

Woah...! That's really amazing. I've been using mine a fair amount, but it's still pretty random on the inside. It was definitely a loooooot** slower than the Tempest...


** That's "lot" drawn out, not "loot"

That dead-ending is crazy! I love the contrast in crackle size... my own Tempest vs. some other pieces is kind of awesome.

Oops, I suddenly got a new Hagi...

Guinomi by Deishi.
Testing it with o-cha's kabusecha (the "inorganic" one).

"Oops?"

[Nenugal]

"Oops?"

As in "oops, I didn't plan to spend more money on teaware this month".

Ah, I know that "Oops" very well. It's a very common occurance.

TOCD for life!!!!

Indeed, I just had to update my "How many Hagi are enough" poll option

My mobile phone stubbornly insists to put the focus on the box, not the cup. It is ok, the box is beautiful too!

Incredible guinomi, Nenugal! Looks rather "large" for a guinomi?!
Reminds me that I need to get some Deishi! I love his stuff but never get around to buying any of it. Probably because you snatch all the good ones
You seem to have quite a nice collection!

Thank you very much, Stentor! This is my 7th Hagi; it was the beautiful Hagi SO Tempest got me started
I should take a Hagi family picture one day...

This one is 7 cm (2.75'') wide and 5 cm (1.96'') tall, just big enough for a full 150 ml kyusu with lots of leaf, I would guess around 90 ml. I'm thinking it would be really amazing (and probably completely out of my prize range) in chawan size!

Love the biwa.
Mine is always in heavy rotation.
Is it a leaker?

Thank you!
I can't say for sure about leaking since I've only used it a couple of times after it arrived today, but at least I didn't notice any leak so far.

A little glowing oolong in my Tempest Hagi from a few weeks ago....
It's starting to crackle very nicely

Yes, the Tempest seemed to show immediate crackling with the very first steeps, but then really slowed down ... seems to me.

This one has seen sencha only. After many many steeps, I noticed the crackles are now darkening, though does not really show up here. Very few on the outside.
