i love your world, even if i haven't said anything until now :-)
such grace and simplicity in these pictures, thank you for sharing them.
a coincidence: these days a friend of mine has posted this:
http://howeverfallible.blogspot.com/2009/09/161.html, your post reminded me of his white bowl. even if his is not Ru ware, i think :-)

Thank you Roxana for your lovely comment - it is so good to receive them (I agree with Tara totally in that respect!). A little confession: I have also been quietly admiring your world, and love the collaboration between you and Michael, but somehow feel my comments will be redundant (my own silliness, perhaps). Please stop by (and comment!) from time to time.

I love the idea of this post!
So beautiful and lucent.

As I said before, I've been intrigued by Chinese art and aesthetics, especially after I started reading your blog. I do not have enough knowledge or experience to explain or describe it in words, but things Chinese have unique beauty and quality so charming, that are of course very different from Western idea of beauty, but also very different from that of Japanese.
