This is an antique Japanese Edo era (mid 1800's) all hand painted tea cup (Yunomi) used specifically for drinking sencha. This teacup was fired in a wood burning kiln at high temperatures for lasting durability. It has a hanabishi motif (diamond flower) in gosu blue made from cobalt encircling the cup in a trio.
At the time of listing we have six individual cup available (see final picture), in addition to a set of 5 more. It measures 3 1/8" in across by 2 1/4" tall (8 x 5.5 cm). Having been safely stored in a family collection for the past half century, it remains in fine condition. A perfect size for enjoying sencha, green tea, or other drink!
