HOW CONVENIENT

This is a clever and fun picture that I found on the internet at some point and I thought this was just a great E-Garatsu guinomi with a tokkuri painted to compliment the intended function of the piece. Seriously, how convenient and as you look at it long enough it is like the tokkuri is just asking to be plucked off the guinomi and used. Made by Karatsu veteran Murata Munehiko the animated cup benefits by the casual brushwork which brings both the tokkuri and guinomi to life. I can only imagine this would be a wonderful little pot to use infused with a sense of playfulness and perhaps a degree of the potter's sly humor.
