Very nice Laura - I see you got the hang of it now!!
I used to have a set in this color but a different style, really lovely!

Thanks, Victoria!
Now I just need to take better pictures... that should help. Very overcast today though. Maybe tomorrow.

Re: Show Off Your Pots and Cups XII
I bought this yunomi back in November from an Etsy artisan, and it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces. I use it regularly, nearly daily, and it is acquiring a spectacular crackle pattern inside.



I know, I know, its BIG... but I like 'em big.
He has some smaller pieces too, and some matcha bowls. I haven't taken any of my own photos of it yet, but wanted to share the vendor photo as some of you might like his other work... he usually has several interesting chawan listed. There's not much shino listed right now, but his other stuff looks interesting too.
ralphnuara is the vendor and here's the link to his Etsy:

Holy crap, Victoria. That first picture is spectacular! Not just for the teacup either. Wow!
KYM: I've been tempted by his stuff before, but I'm impressed, that is a beautiful glaze on the cup.

Re: Show Off Your Pots and Cups XII
Thanks for your comments Chip and Victoria. As for it being sold out, yes they mentioned to me that it actually will not be replaced because the line had been discontinued so maybe it will be a collectors item one day! haha
I'm blown away by the pieces you have been posting too Victoria, you really have an incredible collection of tea ware!
Chip I read in another post you also have a Momiji Kyusu? What does it look like?

Re: Show Off Your Pots and Cups XII
Thanks all, I got a couple more to post, but I can't seem to capture them properly. They are beauties!
