Just what size do you consider 'very small'? Song-il has some small job ins and Greenwood studios has some 'very small' shibs.

Sorry for the mispelling. I meant Seong-il. Unfortunately the smallest one available right now is 100mg.

Here's a link: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/458415/ ... 8ab0ad&p=0

And here's the Teachat thread:

Hojo has some sweet little ones (really good quality as well) if you don't mind investing some money: http://hojotea.com/item_e/available.htm
You have to scroll down a fair bit but they are there! :D

Oh, almost forgot: I guess that you could always ask Andrzej Bero or Petr Novak to make one especially for you - then you get the exact size you desire and with lower shipping costs!

The two that come to mind for me for Houhin have already been mentioned. Seong-Il from Korea (you can request a small one from tead off in his TeaMerchant topic) and Shimizu Ken on the available now page of Hojo.

I will think over tea.

This is a dangerous topic. When I took a look at the available Seong-il hobins to determine that the smallest one is 100 ml I almost ordered one :D I do have one of the onggi hobins that were available last year.

Seong il keeps changing the designs of each firing. He will never make the same one, twice. These have been very popular. I wonder what size do most people want? Many of the Japanese hohin are larger than 150ml. Because many people on teachat look for smaller vessels, I have urged him to make smaller sizes.
