Yes, very cool! I especially like the black and the light blue one.
RE: SIzing - when you upload them you can choose the size from that
uploader form in Photobucket. You can also resize them by choosing the edit
image button on the photo in the album.

Thank you, Victoria. Blue is my favorite color, but I'm hoping to be able to afford the royal purple from this line. It is absolutely gorgeous, but it is very coveted and goes for waaaaaaaay more than these. Thanks again!

Is it Chinese? Looks Chinese. If Pink Floyd were into gongfu brewing, this is the teapot that they would use. Talking about Psychodelic!

Oooo you found one of the two hotaru cups that I don't have. I have a feeling that one is Hotaru Flower. Now I know what it looks like so I can order one.

I have yet to know what Hotaru Hotaru looks like though.

This is indeed called Hotaru Flower.
I really wish they would update with the pics!!
If Hotaru Hotaru is another rice pattern style, I WANT it NOW.
Order it and let me know, ok?
haha
Ack!! Wait, what did you say??? You have a different hotaru cup???

That's a picture I have with all 3 in it. I can never remember which one is which though. I'll have to take a different picture to show them with the light through the holes though.

Ack!! Lovely!! The size and shape and feel of the cup is just beautiful.
It is one of my new favorites.
Truth be told I was in such a frenzy at the Hawaii Lupicia store, I wonder if those were there and I missed them. The differences are subtle.
BUT I WANT THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting ... I think.
(Yes, do take more pics. Would love to see!)

I'm still wondering what a hotaru hotaru looks like. Having seen the flower though now i'll probably have to order both. Can't have a 4 piece set ya know.

I think it's the other way around. I think Mr. Wu was out back behind the shed playing with the other pot(s)...

listening to The Wall.

Ahhh, that would make sense, and would be a continuation of the nature theme. Thanks!
