Ms. Kita - I love love love the first tea pot. Please - where did you get that from? Is it a stoneware? I have been dying to get my hands on one of these....

OK, here is some of my tea ware, from my flickr account in case they don't seem to be working they usually come back soon. The ages are mostly from the people who sold them to me so they could be lies but I like the stuff regardless of how old it might be:
My three chawan, kyoyaki, hagiyaki and kurorakuyaki:
Kuroraku chawan by Kugyo, about 50 years old:
~100 year old Ryosai hagiyaki chawan:
Kyoyaki chawan, recent:
Satsumaware mizusashi, shell futaoki, ~60 year old chabishaku (now retired with a crack in it
), old laquerware pine and arabesque natsume and churaraho chasen:
Another shot of the satsumaware mizusashi and the pine/arabesque natsume:
~80 year old chaire with shifuku:
With thick tea:
The hagiyaki chawan in action with thin tea:
Some of the above plus an old kutani covered bowl / gaiwan with a couple of kutani pine / crane plates in front:
The 100 year old kutani gaiwan:
The 130 year old kutan crane and pine plate for the okashii (sweets) or whatever:
Edo period bizen ningyo tokkuri (sake decanter with 'dolls' of Japanese gods of good luck on it) and younger ~70 year old suzu (tinware) sakazuki cups for before the tea:
That's enough for now...

Wow, I really love the kutani gaiwan. Did you find that at an antique store or something?
Now that I live in a neighborhood renowned for antique stores, that gaiwan is inspiring me to go look
I don't imagine it was cheap, though (if you bought it), and I might be a little too intimidated to actually use a gaiwan like that.

Thanks. The gaiwan is a beautiful piece, the pictures don't do it justice at all. It has to be seen, the scene is really lovely with the guy fishing off the dock and the trees and the little town. So much on a piece of pottery. It's old but it seems sad not to use it.
I saw a couple others from the same set (would have loved to get all three but too expensive) go for over $100, over $50 but I got that last one for $26! I got it on eBay from Japan, where I got almost everything pictured above.

No kidding! I would actually buy one for $50, I think. The picture is good enough that I can pretty much imagine it. Was it on ebay.com from a seller in Japan, or ebay.co.jp? Listed as a "gaiwan"?hpulley wrote:I saw a couple others from the same set (would have loved to get all three but too expensive) go for over $100, over $50 but I got that last one for $26!

I tried to buy the first one for $55 and was beaten. I got silly and actually tried to buy the next one for $100 but was beaten. Somehow I won the third one for $26.ABx wrote:No kidding!

It was on ebay.com from a Japanese seller. They are generally described as "covered bowls", not gaiwan as I believe gaiwan is more of a Chinese term.
