Nice find Victoria if that chawan isn't hagi ware then it had me fooled. It looks so thick and hagi-like.

Thanks Brad! And today I am enjoying my new Hedge Apple cup from TeawareArtisan Little Pig Pottery:

Thats a very nice Cup Victoria... Sorta looks brainlike, but I always thought of hedge apples that way.

[Victoria]

Thanks Adam - yeah me too.

Nice porcelain tea bowl Victoria! Not to mention that your picture captures the texture very well. I am thinking I might make myself one--one of these days
ps thanks bunches

Used bowls are always so fascinating, aren't they? Who held them, who loved them? What tea was consumed?

Kind of like getting to step in to someone else's "shoes" and share a bit of their tea journey...

Awesome wares! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, beautious cuppa Vic (and LittlePig ).
I bet that vessel feels nice in hand.

[Victoria]

Thanks everyone!

Seeker - yep, It feels great in hand - good size and nice heft!
Oh snap!! ... I was supposed to snap it with some matcha.
Well it's kinda small for that, but it would be purdy.

Nice little 'Hedgie', V! We love ours, and yeah, they do feel so perfect in the hand! Our little collection may need an addition or 2 after seeing your cup.

Really beautiful acquisitions that you have posted here in the last few days. Thanks for sharing with us.

I make some "bateau à thé" , here with a little porcelain teapot ( photo is not quite good)
and an other one :

I love that blue glaze. I'll bet the teapot and bowl will look great after they've been used a while.

I also posted this teapot on the Yixing topic, but I couldn't help myself. I like showing off. Here is a Zini Teapot I bought a long time ago in Yixing. It is an old friend and gives me many wonderful memories when I use it.

Beautiful ginkgo!! Love the crackling and the color!!

Very nice IPT! Is that a little foo dog as the knob?
Sweet!

This is a Ming Dynasty Blue and White tea cup I recently acquired.

I was scrolling through different posts and accidentally came to this. Forgive me if this has been asked (I didn't look at the whole thread)... but what is the design? It almost looks like a squid.

PS I agree about the beautiful blue glaze above.

Regarding your teapot IPT, it really looks like it needs a dark tea, as you mention you use it for in the other topic (yixing red). Looks very reliable... imagine it makes a full-bodied tea
