. most amazing place for checking out ceramics, near shibuya JR station.
Cory,
Does that place have like an overpass or on-ramp running in front of it? I remember hitting a tea ware shop in Shibuya tucked away near the JR station. I would have never thought I would have found such a place there.

Very lovely with much coolness, Olivier. I was watching that one as you know. Really different, never saw a set like that one.
Good luck, Tim, I will bow to the "house" Yixing masters!

I wish they had closer photos of the pot/seal/clay but since you're in a position to see it in person, it doesn't matter. I don't like these kind of "ornately" decorated pots but this one seems to be more subtle, which I like but if only the pot wasn't so darn huge. I'm sure the clay/craftsmanship is of high quality though if you are even considering it.

Pardon me for using VENDOR pictures, but I am very excited to show off my first lithophane!
What is a lithophane you ask? Quoted from Wikipedia: “A lithophane (or lithopane or French: lithophanie) is an etched or molded artwork in thin very translucent porcelain that can only be seen clearly when back lit with a light source.”
So in the center of the cup, when you hold it to the light you can see a geisha girl's face. This set was made by Mori China of Japan.

Thanks artmom & little pig!!
And thanks Cory. I was thinking about you when I was in Maui - so close but yet so far.
Nice set up Mz5! Love that carved stand!
