RAQQA-DUO

Though not an exact match, these two Toruko-ao guinomi, currently referred to as the Raqqa-duo are close enough in form, surface and design. Collected separately over perhaps a half a year, these guinomi are both nearly the exact weight, size and though the decoration is a bit different, the glaze is spot on enough for them to be a pair. Though I constantly refer to myself as an “accidental collector” of guinomi, I truly enjoy Kato Kenji’s work and once I ended up with the first one it seemed a bit of a shame to pass on the second. Now that I have the two, I guess the next plausible step is to search around and find a tokkuri that matches and if along the way, numbers three, four and five show up, then kismet has interfered once again in my collecting.
