This is an old revision of the document!
Here, I use the word 薄茶器 to mean non-
茶入 茶器 (even though some can also be used for
濃茶).

紹鴎好 七種
The document above states that the first attempt at classifying 薄茶器 is by 武野紹鴎:
頭切 or 寸切 (cut off head), of which the 金輪寺 is a famous example.
臨器, which belongs to a family of old, Chinese-style medicine containers used in temples. Related terms are the 西大寺茶器 and 薬器.
帽子 (hat, so it has a protruding lid)
飯器 (rice vessel
I think Burkus somewhere explains that the
棗 is modeled after the
茶入's 挽家:
仙叟 has a set of 12 favourites, as well as
井伊直弼.
仙叟's list:
再来棗
尻張棗 (swollen bottom)
茶合
大棗
茶桶 (tea bucket)
面中次 (beveled)
中棗
鶯棗
碁笥棗 (a Go stone bucket)
平棗
小棗
一服入棗 (one serving)
Rest
Here, we have a whole bunch of items, some with more established traditions:
四滴茶入 (misleadingly named, since the lid still goes to 6 o'clock). For those, HS showed me a little dance to remember their four shapes.
Among those is the handled つるつき. Here the
茶杓 goes throug the handle. For purifying, first clean the front, then turn CW 90° to clean the back (both straight).
For the 割蓋 手桶 that I have, KR25 and I conjecture: Clean like above, either turning back before setting down, or turning as you set it down. For scooping, however, turn CCW by 90°, flip the lid of the front (now to the R) and put it on the other side of the handle. For presenting it during
拝見 and during
拝見 itself, also rest the front lid on the back side.

吹雪, named so because top and bottom look the same (like when you're in a snow storm).
