Great matchawan sharing!

Speaking of Cory Lum ... and this is tiny by his standards. :mrgreen: Beautiful tenmoku oil spot glaze with all the Cory trimmings!

Today with Zencha Yame matcha!

Playing with my 'new' (just made I should say) light-box.
Here are a couple of shots of a Cory Lum chawan from my photo play today.

Hello, everyone, I've been lurking around the forums for a while now but this is my first post at TeaChat! I just received my first piece by Seigan and I was so excited the moment I first found it, I actually wanted to post sooner, but didn't dare before the ebay auction was over- I was afraid someone would snap up this gorgeous chawan before I could :lol: My apologies for the crappy phone pics, don't have a real digital camera yet :(

Oh very nice, congrats! Yeah I was eying those with the type of "Spirit" glaze. I bet they were made around the same time as the TC Special Offer.

Chapter, I think I have a sibling of your chawan; mine is the same glaze and bowl shape but with diagonal lines instead of vertical. They're lovely! :)

Wonderful chawan Chapter ! I love this glaze. I happen to have a guinomi version. That's maybe the most beautiful work of Yamane Seigan I have seen.

Welcome !

Chapter, not yet, but I'll see if I can't take some soon. :) I "owe" the forum a lot of pictures, I think.

Alright... my lame pictures of my sibling to Chapter's chawan and David's guinomi! Minus matcha, because I wasn't feeling matcha today (gasp!), and located on my oh-so-uninspiring table [that I need to replace].

The crackling is absolutely gorgeous; it is, for now, absolutely luminous in the sunshine, though my ability to capture it is poor:

I'm quite fond of the way the glaze formed a crescent moon in the bottom:

And... it can be friends with other pieces.
