Their is a web site called Chado which has photos of tea vessels. Just use one
of the web engines and type in Chado or tea ceremony and that should do it.

Ray,

Look for photos of works by (my favorite dead) NINSEI NONOMURA, 17th
Century master potter working in Kenzan tradition. Wonderful tea storage
jars, teabowls, etc.

Most of his works are in Japan. Some in Kyoto Museum I believe.

Anyone in Japan that can add to this??

Hello Ray,
Little is known about the life of Nonomura Ninsei, he was born in
Tamba
and worked at the Ninna-ji(temple) in the 1660-1670's. He introduced
the
use of overglaze enamels to help form what is now called 'Kyo-yaki'-
his immediate successor was Ogata Kenzan- so Kenzan was working with
the
Ninsei tradition. His tea storage jars are exquisite and at least one
is a national treasure that you might be able to see by looking for
the
MOA museum's website or the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum that has a
pair
of pheasant incense burners which are also treasures. Other pieces are
in the Tokyo National Museum, the Idemitsu Museum and possibly the
Nezu
Museum, both in Tokyo.

Last year someone on Clayart mentioned a link to "Chado, the Way of Tea",
that might be what you are looking for. No beautiful full screen images of
teabowls, but interesting nonetheless. I return the favor to the group:
