It took me a couple of years, but i finally managed to find a second chagama that i fancy.

Hope you enjoy. Maker is Seiko Sato. Herons and what i assume to be pine-cones (or maybe armadillos ).

Quite the unusual colored hagi by Eiichi Shibuya.. (i'll see if i can get that with phone camera ).

Finally managed to make some photo's The crackles are quite subdued - hard to get on photo, that's why they're pretty shiny.

Aloha everyone. After my first week at a new job, i felt like i could get myself something:)

Here's an exquisite piece of work by Noutomi Naoko. It exceeds my expectations. Excellent craftmanship.

8.4 cm / 3.3"; height 7.3 cm / 2.9"

That is a really nice pot from Shawn McGuire. How small is it? I haven't seen any like this one on his Etsy page , did you get it several years ago? Hey Victoria. Its 3" round (without the spout and handle), ±115ml and has a ball type filter. I snatched it somewhere around the start of 2015, Shawn ...

Ok just for fun, here's a small pot by Shawn, i think its pretty cute.
On second thought its not really a Japanese teapot

I've always been hesitant to use epoxy or 2 material bonding agents on ceramics i actually use. Never quite comfortable to use something that gets hot and moist and then drinking from it. On the other hand i am comfortable using pieces with kintsugi. Anyone actually know what happens to the epoxy wh...

That's excellent Janice, i have a bunch of work by Shawn and personally I'm a big fan. Apart from his work i have found him to be great person and giving his work and customers a top notch service and very reasonable prices (this is what i think anyway). Only great experiences with Shawn and his war...

And a guinomi or small cup by Shawn McGuire if i'm not mistaken? Looks lovely together.

This is the smaller version however its clearly by the same hand - even without the stamp :D The fun part is that this one is 10.8cm in diameter and 7.9cm high, where the larger one is 12.5 by 7.9 (rounded up). The type of texture of these bowls really reminds me of a plant or tree's root system. Al...

You mean Shibuya Eiichi, his grandson.

You're correct. Mistakenly said Deishi but should be Eiichi (edited now).

Quite the elegant little pot Tealife:)

This reminds me, i have a beautiful tokoname tea jar somewhere. Quite large, ±15cm high.

Extra points for chawan and other wares besides kyusu! :) After a lengthy search for the maker of this chawan ( and an identical larger chawan - correction, this is actually the larger one :D ), i found out who was the maker. With much help from samurai Toru. "Tokoname craftsman Tougen Tsuzuki Hisas...

Thank you all:)

Its pleasant to know you won't be unemployed forever haha. I can't wait for my first paycheck.

After being unemployed for about 2 months. Since may, i heard today i have a new job. This won't only allow me to pay for my house (which was purchased this june), but it also allows me to continue hoarding more wares again. Once i'll have a steady income i can also start looking around again :D Thi...

Very beautiful! I quite like the one by Utsushi - Shoraku Sasaki (3rd)
Here's mine by Shoraku III
