I always get lost in the website for Akar Design Gallery in Iowa City. 
They have a great show there featuring 
Yunomi's by tons of potters. ( I often wonder 
how all these people get invited to be in there 
shows...hummmm) Anyways the definition of a Yunomi is -
"A form of teabowl, usually being taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot unlike the formal chawan tea bowl....a yunomi tea bowl is made for daily tea drinking - ceremonial."
I could spend hours downloading my favorite ones but here is what I h
ad time for. I did some common threads of people'
s work and where some very famous 
people got there influence. Pre
tty cool, plus it shows what a small community 
we are! 
You can go to the website at http://www.akardesign.com/ and click on current shows. Enjoy!
(I'll download some of the one's that caught my eye as soon as blogger lets me...maybe this afternoon). Jen
