Yunomi Tea Cup

The cup holds 135ml, a good size for tea that you prefer to enjoy in smaller sips without refilling the cup too often. The shape is classic yunomi — upright, with a slight outward flare at the rim. The porcelain has a smooth, solid feel in the hand. It's not particularly thin or delicate, but comfortably weighted for everyday use.

The fine blue lines have a pleasant irregularity that gives the surface a feel of movement. Up close, the lines shift in density, catching light slightly differently depending on the angle. When the cup is filled, the grid on the inside draws your eye toward the center and subtly frames the color of the tea.

You'll find the Showa Japan kiln stamp at the bottom, a nod to the studio's history of making reliable, well-crafted teaware. This isn't a showpiece or a collector's item — it's the kind of cup that's easy to bring into regular use. Well-made, balanced, and quietly patterned, it's a solid choice for anyone who likes their teaware to be both practical and thoughtfully designed.
