Jpo, nice teaser first post . And first proper kyusu!
The kyusu resembles a Yamada based on the clay and signature horizontal lines. But the spout and more glossy appearance says the maker may by Fugetsu, a potter trained by Yamada Jozan 3? Or am I just blowing smoke?

Does it have a ball screen filter or a direct wall screen? If in doubt, photos.
I have noticed increases in the cost of Yamada Sou kyusu. Not sure if it is currency fluctuation or demand driving the price up.

Yeah? I saw a new wood fired pot a few days ago by him on AN for around 240 ish. Which... doesnt sound too outrageous .I'm still a noobling, but it seems like most of the wood fired ones run in the 400 + range

Yamada Sou's wood fired do vary in price, but are not as expensive as some artisans'.
Fugetsu uses a lot of ball screens.

It's lovely. All those little fissures in the glaze should add a lot of wonderful character as they get darker with time and tea. Do you have any pictures of the inside, or the 'foot'?

Action shot with tea inside, yum. And I love it when you can see a spiral at the bottom of the cup like that.

do you agree that can be hagi ware or maybe some other ware (shigaraki yaki for example?)
the earth is grey and rough

Not nearly expert enough to say: I've seen quite a lot of stylistic variation in things made in Hagi, enough so that some people are not comfortable giving the label "Hagi" to them.
