Bill,
You mean the $45 shiro I got at the auction? He/She is doing great! Now 9" and the sumi on its head is coming up to form a nice menware. Head is a little yellowish and hopefully that clears up to be the same beautiful white as on its body. I took some pics the other day but haven't downloaded them yet. Will post for people here to see progress of an Omosako tosai shiro in Texas water.
