This is an antique Japanese Meiji Era (c. 1880) hand painted and stenciled 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 stylized scenic bonsai garden design in akai-imari (multi-color imari). Featuring a bonsai pine along with red and white waves and plum blossoms. It measures 3 1/4" in across by 2 3/4" tall (8 x 6.5 cm). Having been safely stored in a family warehouse for nearly a century and a half, it remains in fine condition. A perfect size for enjoying sencha, green tea, or other drink!
