Hi Ethan, Hope of Dawn
So happy to hear from you - I was seriously worried this forum was fast asleep.

This blue flat kyusu was made to a volume of 200 ml in Limoges porcelain, double glazed. It was extremely difficult for me to estimate the shrinking for this shape, so I was very relieved when I finally produced a pot with the required volume. The cup was appr 200 ml as well. Currently still in transit to its final destination with a teachatter, I think!

I just opened an instagram account, more pictures there in the future. @i.n.clay

Thanks again for your comments and encouragement!
