Would you happen to have an image of the inside of the cup? Interested in the colors inside as well as the texture / surface appearance.

 

Beautiful work!

Wow. :thumbup:

Very beautiful.

A little on the small side though.

Yes, they are like the small teacups in Asian restaurants...side-view pictures of individual cups are about life-sized.

Added flash pictures of insides.

I think that there would be a good market for these in tea ceremony circles.

Thanks, I'll tell Mary.

My tea drinking sister would love these...but she is in the Philippines.

Don't make me buy these myself...

Well, Pep, the proverbial "PM sent" for all three.

 

These cups are too small for tea, in my humble opinion, but they will make great kick-ass sake cups!

Very nice looking cups. Great size for Japanese/Chinese teas. A lighter color on the inside bottom half is a plus for some of us tea snobs as color is an important aspect of the whole trip.

 

Tell Mary to keep it up! Those are very nice, and reasonably priced.

Some people say they march to a different drummer. Me? I hear bagpipes.

I have no pictures but the 4 cups available from Mary are with the same glazes, two of each kind. The ones I've been calling green brown she calls blue; the ones I call green celadon she calls green.

Thanks for everyone's comments - I've relayed them to Mary and she is encouraged to put up her own website.

Some of her work may be visible at her Multiply site:

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
