I adore the work of this US potter, Ayumi Horie.She also has a wonderful website where you can purchase her work and see her pots in action. Does anyone else from Brisbane want to be in on a shipment of her work to cut freight costs?!
The whale and bird cup is my favorite and reminds me of the Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan song from Alice:
Fish and Bird
They bought a round for the sailor
And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale
He said: you cannot live in the ocean
And she said to him: you never can live in the sky
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
And there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And the bird on the tide
Please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we will never part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend you're mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart

Are you getting some....I might be interested in a piece of the action.
That's one of my favourite songs too :)

Count me in too, I've been coveting one of these cups for some time. As well as the whale and bird (you have pictured) I'm also quite partial to the chicken in tree as well..........
even though i've never listened to the song the lyrics alone are beautiful
