I guess this can't be helped. Here's a list of my new toys, but somehow I didn't get a fancy box like Hop's:

Yup, they are. Although the cups did come in a B-Choice box for some reason, unless they are the same thing.

The aroma cup set I think is not formed by Xu, its glazed by him though. Maybe that is why it came in that box.

Hmm, that makes sense, thanks. It really is a pleasure to use these cups.

I think I'll get a set now. Your picture makes them looks a lot better than they did in David's photo.

David actually never sent me the photos, even though I've asked him numerous times, so it was a bit of surprise for me. They definitely are very beautiful. The glazing is perfect and they are pretty thin and delicate compared to many other celadon cups. Definitely worth it.

Obviously I'd be one to use and own a gaiwan such as this :P
