It really does feel great in your hand, it has a heft to it but is very comfy. I really do love it.

Beautiful glaze especially on the lower part of that Chawan--and so dramatic against the green.

May you all have a Merry Christmas, Happy and Wonderful Holiday, and now that we have passed the solstice, a sense of moving out of darkness and toward the light.
May you be well.
