I received this houhin set this morning.
The yusamashi is almost as big as the houhin which isn't usually the case for houhin sets.

New Jayzo piece.
Looks like something out of Lord of the Rings.
Perhaps I'll drink mead from it!

Now, thats chunky/funky
“Take some more tea,” the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
“I’ve had nothing yet,” Alice replied in an offended tone: “so I ca’n’t take more.”
“You mean you ca’n’t take less,” said the Hatter: “it’s very easy to take more than nothing.”

New yunomi with crystalline green glaze by local potter Katy Adams. This was a custom order.
The colour is closer to aqua than to the green I'd originally envisioned, but it doesn't matter to me because it's so incredibly beautiful. I love the way that the crystals fan out ... they look like tiny ginkgo leaves!

It's hard to believe they were not intended to be representational. Cool cup, Chamekke! Really gorgeous.

Beautiful !
It seems a Kiyomizu Yaki Kasho Yû style with a delightful blue...
