Vintage Japanese Studio Pottery oatmeal glaze Yunomi cup with signature to base
A beautiful Japanese studio pottery Yunomi cup having a simple but effective oatmeal glaze with a mottled brown finish. The base being indistinctly signed by the Japanese artist.
The yunomi is a style of Japanese teacup for daily tea drinking. It has a long tradition, evolving into a variety of styles and shapes that are usually cylindrical with a turned foot. Without a handle, yunomi are ideal for cradling in your hands to savour the warmth and aroma of your drink.
The yunomi has become an important form for potters outside Japan - particularly those in the West, who use its deceptive simplicity to explore their skills and creativity. In the West, the yunomi is seen as a playful drinking vessel for anything from water to wine. Yet the yunomi still embodies its original noble function as a piece of pottery that is used, and loved, every day.
The piece is in a good clean condition being free of any visible faults or defects.
