HHmm.. let me guess vendors who sell other artists' works?

In case anyone takes the Deishi comments personally, I own several of his products and this is my honest opinion based on the cash laid out and what I consider to be a poor return for that investment.
I don't take your comments personally at all as everyone is entitled to their opinion but I must rush to the defense of Deishi Sibuya hagi teaware. I have a Hagi-Yaki yunomi that he made and I am completely head over heels in love with it. It cost $24.99 and has given me an untold amount of pleasure in my tea drinking. To each his / her own.

Thanks for your opinions and comments everyone! (for the record, I kinda like text-walls :))

Probably I'll go with a Hagi for now (if the decision was hard before, that damn hagi-thread just got me started on white Seigan as well :wink: ). If nothing else, I have a reason for buying another pot if I get into fukamushi :)

Sweet yunoumi btw!
