Inoue Tea Seiji Celadon Green Wide Yunomi - Japanese Sencha Teacup

Elevate your sencha tea experience with this striking celadon yunomi from Inoue Tea. The soft green glaze catches the light beautifully, creating a ritual of appreciation with every cup—exactly what Japanese tea culture celebrates.

This piece is handcrafted from the distinctive clay of Mino Province in Gifu, Japan, home to pottery traditions stretching back to the 7th century. The Mino-yaki kilns in towns like Tajimi and Toki have perfected their craft through centuries of refinement, blending ancient techniques with thoughtful contemporary design. Each wide yunomi carries that heritage.

The generous 6oz capacity and comfortable hand-feel make this ideal for savoring Japanese sencha green tea. The open form allows the aroma and color of the tea to fully express itself—a simple but profound detail that traditional potters understood well.
