Wow, That is nice. (Drooling)

80 ml, nice little guy. Still not that high a price for the work that has gone in to it. I assume it has a sasame screen?

Re: I Wanna.... ( the wish/drool thread )
Lovely!
I've seen a few other small pots with beautiful engraving on their website. They are in my drooling list too
I may be tempted to buy a pot with heart sutra engraved. They are so beautiful! I seldom like yixing engraved with heart sutra, because most of them have very starchy style of calligraphy, and those with excellent engraved calligraphy, I can't dream of the price. But those little pots on tokoname website have handsome styles of calligraphy engraving

Nice looking little pot in general.
Having just been in Tokoname last summer........ I have to say that 7000円 (about 75 US $) for a kyusu is really on the low end of the pricing for the better work. It is very easy to get into many, many hundreds of US $ for the better work.

Wow Vic,
those are stunning.
I read somewhere tho, that silver impacts the water/tea, and from
what I've read, not positively.
I don't know as I've never experienced it.
But I remember getting quite enamored of silver pot/kyusu from
reading teamaster's blog (Stephan, I think). That's when I started looking for one and then read somewhere about the negative impact.
Perhaps silver gets into the infusion?
But, gosh, so gorgeous.
