Inoue Tea Shirahagi Seiryu Blue Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup
$21.99
Soft cream glaze meets bright blue accents in Inoue Tea's Shirahagi Seiryu Blue Mino-yaki yunomi, a handmade Japanese teacup shaped by Gifu Prefecture's long pottery tradition. It suits an everyday cup of green tea or loose leaf, and it is special enough to set aside for slower moments. Because each piece is made by hand, the glaze and form vary slightly from cup to cup, so yours will have its own character.
Why You'll Love This Inoue Yunomi
- Classic yunomi shape: This tall, handleless tea cup is the everyday Japanese form for sipping. It sits easily in the hands and holds a generous 7 fl oz.
- Two-tone glaze: Warm cream tones set off crisp blue accents, a quiet look that pairs well with green tea, matcha or any loose leaf brew.
- Mino-yaki heritage: Mino ware comes from the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's best-known ceramic centers. Potters there have worked local clay for many centuries.
- Natural clay body: The coarse, natural clay under a glazed finish gives this cup a tactile, handcrafted feel that factory-made teaware rarely matches.
- Thoughtful gift: This handmade teacup makes a welcome present for Japanese tea fans, pottery collectors or anyone building a tea corner at home.
