Why Cool Breeze you ask?
The glaze work looks like a cool wind swept cloud
Plus the towel that came with it was named that....

This chawan's hand-painted relief depicts an island and its auspicious symbols/treasures, or "Takarazukushi." The pine, crane and tortoise symbolize longevity. Notice the auspicious mallet, which grants the wielder three wishes when struck three times. It is commonly seen with Daikoku, the god of wealth and farmers.

I really like the landscapes on this--it's a very neat style, more modern and very different than the classical Japanese/Chinese landscapes you usually see ....iannon wrote:New set i just got in..came with 5 each of the cups and bowls

Lovely colorful teawares posted there.
I just wanted to share how my TC SO snowdrifts hagi is settling in at the office....

And the crackles are settling in nicely too
But since it now is living at the office where I don't often have my camera, it will be a while before I can get photos that capture the delicacy of the pink clay showing through the glaze.

Re: NEW CHAPTER! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XV
The cups and pots everyone has posted on here are quite unique and beautiful. I think I may have to start shopping .
Here are my two tea sets.
The first is a gift from my kids, which is not handmade, but I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
The second one is a gift from Malaysia. I don't know anything about it and am not sure if it can actually be used (any help?). It is not glazed, it kind of seems like it's made of clay (or just unfinished), so it appears it would be porous (haven't used it). I'm not sure what everything is - what is the stand for the pot, is it just a stand? Or is it for the round container? Not sure what the round container is for, is it for sugar or tea leaves or what? Also, as you can see on the inside of this container, the paint or whatever it's coated with, is chipped. So I'm thinking this set is beautiful to look at but not very practical for use. Can some of you experts on here help me out with this.
Thanks so much.

Heh, blink and look at all the new wares! Thanks everyone for sharing.
"pkp" maybe you should post a new topic and ask your questions. You might get better response.
We have several members living in Malaysia, maybe they can assist. But you could also get a lead test kit, though I doubt there will be a lead issue, but could be other issues.
Good luck!

Re: NEW CHAPTER! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XV
Thanks Chip. I was afraid of the lead too, hmmm. As for posting again, I'm very new to this and find it a bit too scary and alot of work to try figure it all out, so if I get any replies here, that's okay. But thank you for the suggestions.
Re: NEW CHAPTER! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XV
That first set is made by Eilong of taiwan. Very nice set. Quite big though. I think the pot is 600ml and the cups around 120-150ml
Lovely set though

Re: NEW CHAPTER! Show Off Your Pots and Cups XV
Nice Gaiwan Odarwin, I'm clueless as to the year though. One of the first Jing De Zhen pieces I have seen that has used Green as its main color.
