Another lovely cup.

(All this talk of cone 10 and cone 12 has me thinking Star Trek and warp speed.....)

Hello,
Thanks for all the kind remarks regarding the last few pieces I posted, I appreciate it.

I thought I would post a few images of a new chawan from the recent firing in the small kiln. It's a wire-cut bowl with a Carbon trap Shino glaze.
It's dimensions are: 2-7/8" h. x 5-5/8" w.

Thanks for looking,
Michael

That is quite a departure from your normal pieces, but it is incredible! Great texture and glaze! Could we see an interior shot?

Hello,
I'm posting an image of a new Tea Dust Tenmoku Chawan from a recent firing.

Been busy with lots of projects here in the studio and gallery, things are really picking up. Spring has finally arrived, we had snow a little over a week ago...

Addition images can be found here:

Thanks,
Michael

Really love this one. I actually thought I PMed you about it, but can't find the PM.

Ohh, the flared "matching cup" is really cool.

Hey Michael,

I wanted to thank you for showing my boss and I your studio today and taking the time to explain how you create these great pieces... It was fortunate that we had some time to stop on our way through town. I look forward to visiting again & hope to catch the kilns in action at some point in the future.

A quick snap of my new favorite cups...

Cheers!

Peter

Peter,
Sorry, for the delay in responding here...as you saw when you were here, SHY RABBIT is a pretty busy place, the days fly by.

It was a pleasure to be able to spent some time with you and to show you around. It's always interesting to watch people picking out their favorite pieces, it was clear you knew what you were looking for. Thanks for making the extra effort to find us, your visit was quite enjoyable.

Thanks for posting images of your new pieces and for taking the time to do so...I really appreciate it.

Be well,
Michael
