Re: Glass ware - Show off

Show it all. I only recently acquired (in the last year), my first real glass piece and now i like it more and more every time i pass it in the house. It came with a paper box, titled unsurprisingly Nami; and was made by Hisatoshi Iwata. Roughly 25x25cm a.png b.png it reminds me of a planet :roll:

Re: Yixing

Check out the little beauty I just got. Its 105 ml Custom order from 2007 from an older batch of unmixed Hongni. The clay is probably 60s or 70s. The potter who made this teapot is a semi-anonymous 5th rank Yixing craftsman whose name is 志刚. very thin walled and very high fired. Havent tried it yet...
