Thank you everyone :)

Seeker, well, I wasn't going to but I will try to now :) I have a shiragaki one that I'd like to photograph too. Hmm...you've inspired me to start my own album of my tea routines.

Now that's a chawan I would go for. Beautiful.

That summer chawan with the pale grey/cream colour...

I would have chosen that one if
a) I didn't have a chawan that had similar if not the same kind of colour
b) if one of my chawan were not of similar kind in style except taller

I like my kuroraku choice because it's not a style or colour that I have.

Now, I'm on the search for a better water cooler (yuzumashi?) than I have. The kind I'm looking for is one with a side handle.
