Thanks debunix and Seeker!
That vase is actually a tokkuri by Rob...ha! But it's a vase for right now, and a handsome one at that.

Little late, but I have almost the same pot! My son was born in the year of the piggy and i bought this as a commemorative piece. Voluminous, but a very good tea pot if it is like mine.

What a great way to spend time while sipping tea! Thank you all for sharing your delightful teaware.
I paint (or did - my muse has gone AWOL) and seeing these tiny works of art makes me think about painting again! I just may find that muse again soon.

Alright, finally remembered that I had pictures to share! Here they are, my favorite bowls that I don't use enough!
I love the vibrant colors on the inside of this one:
My favorite - I love the fact that it kinda looks like a flower in the bottom
Not usually my first choice among the three, but still very enjoyable to use.

Re: Newest Chapter! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XIII
Someone had some questions about my recent post in the yixing section and thought I would post the answer here. They were after one of my blue and white cups, so here it is, close-up!
Both of these were bought through antique wholesalers in Kyoto, but the origins of the cups are anyone's guess. I don't buy much from them, but they save a few interesting things for me when I show up to chat.

I am the same way. I am always seeing things I wish I had!
Re: Newest Chapter! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XIII
I finally got the chance to take some photos of the new cup I purchased from Ericka O'Rourke. This is a wonderful little cup - very unique. The unusual shape took just a minute to get used to, and you find these wonderful indentions that fit your thumb just perfect. Getting photo's of it was tough for this amateur! Going outside helped with the lighting, and inspired some azalea blooms
The inside has a pool of amber and glass
