Sakura Blossom Yunomi Japanese Teacup
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
The unique Japanese teacup features lovely cherry blossoms against a Turkish blue sky. The scene is composed of small cherry blossoms in white and pink, with green leaves interspersed in the gaps between the flowers, making the entire picture more vivid and vibrant. With its distinctive shape, it suggests the beauty of spring and nature.
The pink and blue teacups employ a special coloring technique. During the cooling process after the ceramics are removed from the kiln, variations in the contraction rates of the surface glaze and the ceramic body in the air result in intricate patterns resembling ice cracks on the surface of the ceramics.
This uniquely round shape is not only charming but also easy to use. It fits well in the hand as skilled craftsmen design and mold the shape of the stoneware by the potter's wheel to match the painting.
Pour freshly brewed coffee or tea and enjoy a special teatime with this beautiful teacup.
The size 320ml cup is ideal for a leisurely cup of tea.

Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi are a kind of vertical, cylindrical teacup. They are typically used for casual tea times. Because of the large capacity of a yunomi, the area where the tea touches the air is small, so the tea does not get cold easily. They are also suitable for when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
