OMG cccp, that is a great chawan!
Looks like it would feel really good to hold and
sip from.

When the new princess arrived, with ribbons and stamped cloths, the geckos and orchids of the office gathered to admire her. And there were much rejoicing and drinking of matcha.

The shy rabbit's chawan was a quiet type, but from a very good family, and always noble and trustworthy. When he saw her shiny skin and her beautifully shaped foot, he gathered his courage and proposed to her...

And they lived happily ever after, guarded by a very protective gecko, and the office never ran out of matcha or small cute gyokuro cups.

Thanks, Seeker!
Yes, it feels great! My gf immediately claimed it as hers and I don't blame her. It's a bit smaller than your regular chawan so it suits girls hands much better.
Unexpected mixing of the glaze caused those "mountains" seen on the sides of the chawan is definitely a nice surprise to me and was totally uncalled for :D

Very nice one, cccp80!

I'm having my morning matcha late in the afternoon today; sakuraka matcha in Loquat Glaze Hime-Hagi by Deishi.

Nen - I'm so glad they got together! And with such lovely friends to guide the way. The princess looks absolutely lovely with her matcha and chasen.
Chip - beautiful; great chawan, and great matcha shot - that green is so vivid. And that layered, scaled look around the chadamari is awesome!
