Not my teaware.....but I wish it were....

Quiet for a long time....

You say you like your Hagi rugged, the clay coarse, but the glaze delicate?

Check out this wild Hagi from Mago on Ebay, a Deishi....

[David R.]

I have other things on my radar right now but very nice indeed...

Still no bids ?

Isn't Seto and Karatsu two distinct places? Not even very close together. What does it mean Setokaratsu?

Nice one Peacock.

I have been watching the 3 Y's of Tokoname for quite a while. Some examples of their work ...

Yohei ... an yohen example for 681 USD plus shipping

Yokei ... cheaper at 23K JY

Yoshiki has been putting out some really nice works! I have wanted to score a hammered yohen such as this one for years.

Ah....looking at the full profile page, I see Yoshiki is also the maker of this sleek lovely set that I've admired quite often.

No idea what to recommend on the yixing pots, but I would love to be choosing between several of these tokoname pots....

Or basically any piece with similar characteristics by Kaneta Masanao. I love it when the white glaze turns a bit pinkish in the firing.

Where does that beauty reside, and does it have relatives for sale?

Those profile pages are DANGEROUS!

Kaneta Masanao works are in general stunning. And usually so over budget ...

Sorry I forgot the shop link. That particular one is sold, and no I did not buy it as his Chawans tend to cost a whole semesters pay for me.

Everything on that site by Masanao was sold, but e-bay gave a more reasonable estimate of the prices (!) ......but gorgeous stuff, and all the safer for ogling and coveting when the prices are just beyond reach.....it's that semi-affordable stuff that causes all the trouble!

[debunix]

Safest of all for TAD-fueled ogling, of course, is the 'already sold' item:

another safe/sold item.....swirly flame-y bizen cup!
