It doesn't look anything like Geekgirl's sakazuki, but I do have a steely-glazed chawan. I'll try to remember to post a photo of it.Pentox wrote:<sigh> if only. A steelglaze chawan would be soooooo beautiful and amazing.GeekgirlUnveiled wrote:Pentox: yep and nope. Steelglaze, but it is small - it's actually a sakazuki. But I posted it because it's beautiful and also wishing it was a chawan. MagokoroDo.

Me too, I'm very keen to see what it looks like with matcha in it.CynTEAa wrote:Pentox wrote:Well, it's here. I'll post some pics of it later, but right now I'm at work so I can't. Mine has less bubbles than the one that was pictured. I'm quite happy with how it looks though. One thing I found interesting about it was the bubbles at the top of the bowl are stretched where the ones closer to the base are quite round. They also provide an interesting texture on the inside of the bowl. All in all i'm rather happy with it. (although I haven't put any matcha in it yet)
Oooo! Can't wait for pics! Very curious!

I haven't changed it yet, but I am losing it with curiosity. So far I haven't seen any glass ones that I find at all attractive, but if this one really is splendid, I may have to get one. If it looks like the photo, I'll pass. Pentox's very teasing description gives me hope that it will be stunning ... And I know Pentox has impeccable taste.Chip wrote: Have you changed your mind, Sal?
And the wait is over. I'm actually really pleased with it. I like that it doesn't have as many bubbles as was originally pictured, I thought that make it a bit too busy. The size is also good, it's a bit larger than my small chawan and smaller than my large chawan. If it were the size of my large ones, I don't know if I would be able to get a good grip on it since it is glass.
I'm quite happy with this.
