Geek - Ahhhhhh!
I looked, had to work, came back to buy - and - woooshhh - GONE!

Gorgeous chawan - celadon w/ fish scale - wow.

Nice!

You might want to rethink that porcelain body Cory

r

what's up with porcelain ?

mark kawano's designs are cool !

what's his made of ?

thanks

I think they use a hybrid porcelain body as a regular porcelain body at that size and tempreture is prone to distort as well as crack due to thermal shock.
