Do you mean the asymetry?
I don't have a chasen-keeper that fits that wide center ring
of tines - so, I think it's just morphing from daily use.

(I might get a new one - was lookin' at the ones on Yuuki yesterday).

Two different lightings one with my reading light on and the other with it off, the color of the matcha looks so dull in the first picture which is really not the case.

Cory! Chip! Victoria! Adam!
Nice chawan, great matcha.
Wonderful.
I'm REALLY thirsty for matcha - can hardly wait for tomorrow morning.
I've been sans matcha for several days as I've been away for on-site wedding planning (in Yosemite, heh heh).
:mrgreen:
ps - chip - looks like a comet flying by at your "sip" spot. :wink:
Vic - love that harlequin/dalmatian chawan - nice!

Heh, yeah, does look like a comet. Cory's Chawan-s tell a different story at every turn and perspective!

Nice Chawan Adam and Victoria! Thank you for sharing.

Good Matcha Day to all!
Chip - you inspired me to hang out with the dynamic "comet" chawan's brother.
So - today, Cory Lum chawan with Ippodo Nodoka matcha (serious yumm!).

I hope this day finds you enjoying tea, and perhaps a bit of matcha.
Good tea day to all.
Nodoka (limited spring matcha from Ippodo - very, very yummy - chocolaty aromas, some nuttiness, and fresh green smooth sweetness on the palate. Mmmmmm...). Robert Fornell matt black ash glazed chawan "rabbits fur".

Spikey came by thirsty for some matcha! (of course I gave him some)
