I might keep only three of them which could mean that two are available for a chataku/teaware swap. I haven't made up my mind yet. I will keep you posted.
Please do!

Received this yesterday, it's crossposted in "teaday," (sorry.) Sadly, the second the hot tea hit the cup, I heard the distinctive *tink*tink* of glaze crackling. Fortunately, there are three cups, and the one that crackled did not actually crack. If I want to use this set, I will have to be VERY careful about prewarming.

The pot holds just a smidge over 16oz.

Congratulations!
The inner surface looks a little rough, but I think I can work with the shape.

Indeed it is. When I first saw his chawans I actually assumed he was Korean. There is something primordial and Jurassic about many of his pieces, but in his more restrained work he seems to combine Japanese Raku-type coloring with rougher, more naturalistic Korean textures. I like it. I am hoping the bowl has a good weight.

Wow, tea folks...the awesome tea wares that have been posted here in the last few days have been mind-blowing...what a range from from a great 8-piece set, to cups with great history, to new cups soon to have great history, to a purple not-really-a-matcha-bowl bowl (now I MUST have a purple matcha bowl), to the radiant set seen here today!

Thanks so much everyone for sharing!

I feel like coming here and looking and not posting anything is cheating...I will post some when my camera is fixed or replaced.

Thanks,
Dreamer

A box? Is it a himitsu box? An origami box? Or was there something, dare I say, in the box?

MegaHagi!

by Chip » Feb 25th, '09, 14:08

Yamane Seigan has a new fan. This is not the norm size wize for me, holding a whopping 400ish ml (14ish ounces). But this is one beautiful Hagi, most impressive. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

It is one of, eh hem, several newbies to the family. :shock:
