Unique Yunomi, Tea Cup, Hagi Pottery, Japan, 1960s-1970s.
Beautiful Hagi-yunomi (Japanese teacup) crafted in the traditional style of Hagi pottery, a renowned ceramic style from Yamaguchi.
Dimensions: Height 8 cm, diameter 8 cm. Marked on the bottom with an impressed kiln stamp.
This stunning handmade stoneware yunomi features an elegant organic, asymmetrical shape with a slight flare at the top for comfortable drinking.
The glaze is partially transparent, creating a beautiful gradient from soft blue-gray to the warm earthy tones of the base layer below. The base layer has a rough, natural texture with subtle perforations and irregularities on the surface, a result of the traditional firing process.
Hagi-yunomi are celebrated for their unique aesthetics and the process of kan-nyuu (craquelure effect), where fine cracks appear in the glaze over time. This adds an even more unique character to the cup, embodying the philosophy of wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection) that is highly valued in Japanese tea ceremonies.
This unique Japanese teacup is perfect for enjoying tea or coffee, elevating every moment into a special experience.
A true artwork that blends tradition with modernity, making it an ideal addition to a stylish Japanese interior.
A must-have for lovers of Japanese ceramics!
