this is the kyushu treasure's pottery that i was telling you about. i sent more to your email. this artist is the best i have ever seen...he had better things, but this was $40...i was on a pottery "tour" at the time, so i chose not to blow my wad on 1 thing...but i HAD to have it.

Wow...thats a lot of detail

Brian, Mr Jones does some nice work. I had the privelage to see some up close.

really? well, i just love pottery. i emailed him some pics of the pottery i have...this is definitely one of my prized pottery possessions.

Just saw the heading.... been off the last few days.

Nice pot, seems like a lot of layers of decoration that is very hard to achieve at high temperature kiln firings. Seems like a cool box (in the picture) that the pot came in. $40 dollars is a good price. I tried to open the pictures but i'll have to get my wife to do it(she's the computer savvy one). Can't wait to see them, thanks for sending them.

no problem...this is called a yunomi...a green tea cup. he is the jyushu treasure we talked about a couple of weeks ago.

Hey Burgess, Finally got to open the pictures this morning. I liked the pots with the mountian scenes the best. The "dry" charred ones looked like raku w/o glaze and the one with the holes & gold outlines seems like raku too. Do you have any wood fired pots or ones with shino glaze ? (shino is a orange to creamy high fire glaze that traps carbon smoke from the reduction process/less air in kiln, it has areas of black/grey blending into the orange). If you send me a mail address I can send you some xeroxs of my pots/plates.
