Share a photograph of your favorite matcha chawan (teabowl)

[JPX]

After a loooooong search, I finally pulled the trigger on a chawan! It may not be very "traditional," but it's unique, gorgeous, and reminds me of my days living in Santa Fe! And the price was extremely right too! Can't wait to get this sexy girl in the mail. Much praise to Ericka O'Rourke at Elm Studios on etsy!

This is so beautiful.

I was just wondering how many of these things you guys have? Can you post a pic of your collections?

No, because then I would have to admit I have a problem.

Cory, you continue to bedazzle me with your amazing vibrant colors and glazes. From where do these inspirations arise?

Very stunning "jawan!" Me likes.

Here's my new baby,

"The DAISEN ware origin that the 12 generation of Daisen temple ZEN-KU chief priest made pottery.
Daisen ware which continued after that had also been giving up one's business at the Taisho term.
Toshiyuki Suzuki revived this Daisen ware and kiln was opened in 1990.
Toshiyuki Suzuki is continuing making the original simplicity which Daisen ware has, and the work which wove in present age feeling still now.
The iron glaze which was also Toshiyuki Suzuki's research task is mainly used, and the metal color which shows various expression is making the work using a blue porcelain, oil spot, KIN-YO, and ash glaze centering on TAMA-HAGANE-YO TEMMOKU glaze of the feature. "

Your pictures are much nicer than the vendor's. I just knew it was a beautiful blue. Stunning and truly a showpiece. Congrats!

Wow - Woozl, just amazingly captivatingly wonderful chawan!
I keep coming back to gaze for faces!
I finally have a chance to share my new Jay Strommen, it arrived awhile ago (I think about 2 weeks after I ordered, and he'd let me know there'd be a week delay due to being in the country firing - I think he does that a lot).
Here it is next to it's sister:

I think you can see it is a bit bigger, slightly shorter, but wider down low (sorry about the abysmal photography, just couldn't get the light right).
By itself:

koudai (for you Cory!):

The new one is still a bit small for me, but it's fun for me and my sweetheart to drink our matcha together out of matching chawan - she's quite taken with the smaller one!

Peace, Cheers, and Namaste!

Cool,
I have a red Jazo too.
I love the blue that shows thru.

[amorphiss]

woozl, where did you find that beauty? That thing is amazing!

[Chip]

Wow, great wares, CDS, Coconut, Victoria, 808Hawaiian, Carl, Seeker, and Woozl!!!

I was watching the Daisen Chawan too, Woozl, maybe you will show it to me one day!

You'd be more than welcome to share a bowl

You mean you would actually allow me to hold it? Several things could happen as I see it.

Sometimes when I use a more expensive/special ocassion kyusu, etc, I literally have a momentary jitters. I first noticed this at Ito en in NYC when I picked up a rather humble looking kyusu that was casually sitting on a display shelf. A tiny kyusu made of simple red clay. Then I saw the 400 $ price tag. I almost shook the lid off, had to grab it with both hands and put it back on the shelf.

Sooo, does the offer still stand.
