Japanese do know how to make exceptionally attractive and appealing ceramics. Soon after we became married, we obtained in a local Jap shop two ceramic glasses of irresistible beauty and attractiveness. Only one of them has survived to this day, - it serves me on a daily basis for tea drinking.

'shino' chawan
I'm a huge ceramics fan... and would love to purchase a few cups like this, from Japanese ceramicist - name is: Cory Winter. But unfortunately, this is not an option due to a number of technical reasons...
matcha chawan with oribe & light pearlescent hues
chawan woodfired at NAU, mixed clay
I could add more from my little (virtual) collection, but I guess you've got the idea.
I could forget about @mdosev's cat cup 😜 if I could get one of these 💓 I particularly like the starry night one; I gues it's named after Van Gogh's painting (which I love so much, as much as I love Don MccLean's "Vincent"... You're making me nostalgic but in a sweet way).
if only I could get one of these! too...
I cant order anything at Cory Lum's online store,
just follow, and enjoy results of his work with my eyes.
