Beautiful new chawan vacuithe!
I'm with rdl - can we see more?
I'd love to see the koudai (foot).
Congrats on being the 1st post on the 100th page!

ps - if you wanted to, I'd also be interested in the artist/maker and where you got it.

3 more pics, I can't do more at the moment 'cause the bowl is at my office.

It's a french potter who made this bowl : David Louveau de La Guigneraye.
his website : http://www.terreetfeu.fr/

I picked up this bowl when I visited him 2 weeks ago, he was performing a Nanban firing. I made about +500 pics
you can see him a few pics of this firing on my blog : http://vacuithe.blogspot.fr/2013/03/nanban-firing.html

Thank you for the additional pics V, especially the last two - gorgeous shots!!!

(Apologies if this is already clear, but 'rdl' was the other poster's 'name').

The too-small chawan came today. I really love it. I love how it fits in my hands. (I'm a very small person)

I got it nice and warm and gave it a shot, and sadly I can't get as nice foam in this small vessel.

But I like it so much so I *do* think I'll look for a nodate chasen.

(thank you all for your help with this!)

I found a pottery shop last night that was selling student's work for one night only, so I picked up a matcha cup and saucer. I hadn't planned on getting into matcha so soon, but it was too good a deal to pass up for such pretty pieces. These will sit on the shelf until I'm ready to take the dive into Japanese greens.

I really like the sun and stars look of the inside.

And the saucer seems to fit, even though they were made by different students.

Matcha will look absolutely wonderful juxtaposed with that blue... very nice!

[debunix]

You scored with those. Quite lovely.

Now I just need good matcha, a strainer, a scoop, a wisk, and knowing what I'm doing, and I'll be able to drink it! Easy Teasy!
