Yep it was me! And yes I totally love it. The bigger size is just perfect for me to
fill twice from my 16 oz glass pot.
I am in contact with the potter, urging him to list more and make more - explaining to him about the needs and concerns of us tea enthusists in the know. He appreciates my input, so more will be coming! Have no fear!

Yes I expressed those concerns and asked for more in smaller sizes. Also explaining although the colors are lovely, white interiors are favored and also a thinner lip than some shown. But as you can probably tell the quality of the work is excellent. It is so perfectly even and smooth. A real treasure. The yellow one looks nice. I have also asked for a lily or trumpet style to be made.
Ohhh I missed the black and white one!!

That's really attractive. Can you tell us anything more about kinma, Olivier? It's not something I'm familiar with.olivierco wrote:Kogo (Incense case). I was curious about kinma design, so I bought this kogo before buying more expensive items.

From rikyucha description:
It is basically arranged Urushi on the surface over again up to 8-9 times and after dry up, it is carved to make these unique designs. Then it is painted into the places engraved by Urushi. Finally it is polished carefully to complete.
