claystone



my current heart's desire. a cobalt blue claystone pottery teapot. i saw it leafing through old copies of insideout (this is online picture of the insideout spread of teapot - lovely). i hope i can excuse myself for a yakimono post that does not refer directly back to japan, because almost all yakimono reminds me of japan in some way...

ps - i am going to sydney, to see them play saturday. and i really want to go here thanks to ebony, and here thanks to lee tran lam:)

and ps - whilst i am on items of heart's desire unrelated to japan, i didn't know that donna wilson designs sofas too but now i do, her hue sofa for SCP has triggered a very strong craving. they call it 'comfortably familiar'.

the black version with sugar pot

vases

beakers (ちょっと日本っぽいと思います)

  3. Have a lovely trip! I hope Cafe Ish treats you well - it is squishy and small, but worth it - I think you will enjoy the Japanese/mod-Aus menu. Maybe see you there!
