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...

This is why everyone should upload to teaforum instead of link from a image hosting site

Here's a cup i picked up from Artistic nippon last week. Quite the unusual colored hagi by Eiichi Shibuya.. Quite rough glazing too with some scratches from what i would assume to be the wood firing and very unusual crazing even on the matte blacks (i'll see if i can get that with phone camera and t...

From what i've heard there are plenty of "flea markets" in for instance Kyoto that have fantastic items. Its a dream of mine to one day go there and go through it all. I would suggest keeping eyes out on what the people are selling themselves.

Being auctioned here: https://www.aoijapan.com/flower-vase-kimura-toun Its listed as a flower vase, but it looks more like a brazier so i added it here (feel free to move if deemed wrong place for it), and my pockets aren't nearly deep enough though, and honestly it wouldn't fit my kind of room but ...

Very nice, missing those early day sop's, still hurts

I had especially a mizusashi in mind...

Here's one for sale right now, and probably a lot cheaper than a brand new one, but still waay outside my current comfort zone

I wanted to share another raku bowl, one that is quite special because of the cha...
