Congrats!
Thanks Victoria. I already really like it after only using it once. The red mixed with the different shades of blue is very attractive. It looks especially good when holding dancong.

Rudi liked the authentic Japanese ribbon, more than the Hagi.

:D I love that it breaths and even "sweats," liking the warm slightly moist feel, wonder if this will fade ... too soon?

Very nice Deishi cups, Victoria! Enjoy.

I have decided to start a semi official Hagi topic to discuss all things ... Hagi.

This is so adorable! And so much better than YSLLC's own photo. I never noticed the nice engraved pattern on their photo!

Happy birthday Victoria!

I was only just thinking how much I'd love to abscond with one of those lovely little cups... it'd hardly be missed, would it?

Perhaps Geekgirl was picking up my transmission :wink:

Yeah, I have been wanting a flared cup for awhile now and a yunomi style to
replace my broken work one. It was a very good teaware day indeed!
Thanks everyone!

I know! I just saw it was a design and didn't really know what I was getting. It turned out to be my favorite Chinese symbol! I'm a lucky girl!

Newbie Hagi fam member. Unusual Loquat glaze showing lovely depth and character, Deishi is the artisan. This is a guinomi or sake cup which I am using for a smaller teacup, 2.75" wide, very nice sipping size!

I agree, some sake cups make fantastic tea cups.

Here's a hagi sake cup that I bought three years ago. Actually, compared to most guinomi, it's rather massive: holds up to 125 ml of liquid. As a tea cup, however, it's the perfect size for decanting my gaiwan!

Hmm... maybe should have posted this to the hagi thread? Tempted-- to-- double-post--
