Set of Japanese Tea Cups, Yunomi, Shodai-yaki, Shōwa Period.

Dimensions: height 7 cm, diameter 7 cm.

The cups feature an organic, ‘dented’ shape that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fits comfortably in the hand.

The glaze is particularly refined: the upper rim boasts a deep, glossy ruby-red hue that subtly transitions into a playful dripping effect. Delicate turquoise accents are incorporated into the design. The lower portion of the cups is finished in a soft speckled white-grey glaze, providing the perfect contrast to the vibrant upper section.

Each cup is marked on the underside with Japanese characters, bearing the maker’s name: Shodai-yaki.
