Antique Japanese 19th Century Blue & White Hand Painted Ceramic Tea Cup 3"

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!
