Chataku from Muji in SoHo. I like the simple styling and the matte finish.
W_B, are these chataku available on the internet or are you saying you bought them somewhere local? They are very nice, and I certainly wouldn't mind picking one up myself. Did you do the photo yourself? Also very nice.

As far as I know, Muji doesn't have an online store. Their URL is http://www.muji.com but it is just a brochureware site. They have two stores in NYC, and have odd, minimalist products. Their teaware is basic, white porcelain kyusu and yunomi, and these chataku.

Yes, that's my photo. Thank you.

Hagiyaki by Deishi I posted in Teaday:

I love Deishi's Hagi teaware because from the very first time you use it, the surface begins to change. I learned (on here?) that tea people call it Cha-nare which means that gradually as a piece is used for tea or sake over the years, it becomes stained and changes color.

Cha-nare literally means "tea maturing," indicating that, as a piece is used, it takes on an aesthetically pleasing and matured appearance.

I've only taken a few shots with my new camera, but here is one of a weird alligator/croc patterned studio porcelain (really??) tea bowl from eBay. Haven't used it yet.
