Dear Geraint Thank you so much for the good news.Much appreciated. Kind rgds Philip

Case is magnetic so probably not original. All help appreciated.

Hi Evan Happy to hear it arrived safe and sound and that you like it. Nice tokkuri here if you like Aiko. I'll get some buttons made. http://ishizuchicorp.co.jp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-17.jpg

The thing that's nice about contemporary pieces is you can experience it first hand before it's been classified or 'revisited' given a retrospective etc. The shipwreck style of contemporary Karatsu for example although you could say it's inspiration is historical.

M8 you've got a thing about ridges. Better start collecting kukri! Nice one!

Evan that is really a nice guinomi! Well done, great catch. Apologies for such a late comment.

Thanks John. Good summary. Self portrait Private Collection

Here's Kawakita Handeishi's hanko.

That's lovely. Great find.

Hello Curran Have you tried Robert Yellin's e-yakimono site? Lots of info about the styles and regions there.

Thanks for the link, Henry. Yes that's the place. Found some nice oribe tea cups there. And these plates around the turn of the 20th c. Makes me think if these are 1915 or so the Kawakita Hadeishi piece should be earlier- not that it matters.

BTW Henry are you ever out Takeshita street way? Coming from the Harajuku Station end turn at the pancake shop and next left. Do you know that bloke? He sometimes has great to semi great antique pieces at knockdown prices. Shop is just a couple of window displays and a small room full of glitzy crap.

Lovely! Congratulations Henry. Great buy. I'm no expert on antique pieces either but see nothing to contradict Meiji. Wonderful colour.

Could be for coffee, it's big enough.

The bad news is that the clay will absorb the coffee and may impact the flavour of the sencha. The good news is that you need a second cup for coffee. It is a nice foot you are right. Nice cup!

This ridge reminds me of the one you find on a kukri handle. I imagine it is comforting to hold and gives tactile interest. I like ki-seto too. How's the koudei?

Nice one Evan! One of her yunomi from 2015 for company.

As many of you will know Kawakita Handeishi is associated with Momoyama revival chawan which he was famous for giving intriguing names to. Those kind of pieces are well out of my reach but the nice thing about collecting Yakimono is the way that a good yunomi from such an artist is still affordable.

I hope no one minds my resurrecting this pottery thread. It's been a while since I've posted here and surely there ought to be many beautiful new acquisitions owners would be willing to share. For my part I have made no new purchases in the interim. However this cup came into my keeping recently, not Japanese but from a place called Wang Kum Karm 20 to 30 k south of Chiangmai. The characteristic blue green glaze from this area is achieved from bark ash from a local tree mixed with celadon clay from Lamphun.made for use by ordinary people not export and around 200 years before Chiangmai Old Kingdom.
