This set of two Japanese ceramic yunomi cups combines a simple, comfortable shape with beautiful shades of turquoise blue and ivory. The glaze is applied differently to each piece, creating a coordinated pair while giving each cup its own individual character.
Each yunomi features the traditional Hidari Uma (左馬) motif, literally meaning “reversed horse.” In Japan, this traditional symbol is regarded as a lucky charm associated with good fortune, prosperity and moving forward in a favorable direction.
With a capacity of approximately 300 ml, these Japanese tea cups are ideal for green tea, hojicha, genmaicha and a variety of other hot or cold drinks. Their handleless shape is characteristic of yunomi, the everyday tea cups traditionally used in Japan.
Made in Japan from ceramic, each piece may display subtle variations in shape, size, texture and glaze due to the manufacturing and firing process. These natural differences are part of the character of Japanese ceramics and are not considered defects.
Presented as a pair in a box, this set also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese tableware, Japanese tea and Japanese craftsmanship.
