Set of four vintage Japanese stoneware yunomi tea cups featuring a beautiful studio pottery aesthetic with mottled purple-brown bodies, olive-green splash glaze decoration, and pale gray interiors.
These hand-finished cups have the rustic appearance associated with Mashiko pottery, Shigaraki ware, and other traditional Japanese ceramic traditions, with subtle variations in glaze, visible wheel marks, and unglazed foot rings that emphasize their handmade character. Their size and shape are ideal for serving sencha, hōjicha, genmaicha, green tea, or everyday tea service.
The cups measure approximately 2½ inches tall by 2½–2¾ inches in diameter and hold roughly 5–7 ounces each. The abstract green-over-brown glaze gives them a classic wabi-sabi, rustic Japanese tea-ceremony feel while remaining practical for everyday use.
Condition is vintage pre-owned. Light wear is present on the bases from storage and handling, but no obvious chips or cracks were noted during inspection. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition and dimensions.
A lovely set for collectors of Japanese pottery, studio ceramics, yunomi, stoneware, tea ceremony items, Mashiko-style pottery, Shigaraki-inspired ware, Asian decor, and rustic farmhouse tableware.
