This yunomi (Japanese teacup) is a quiet expression of elegance and restraint, crafted in Tōhō Village using traditional Takatori-yaki techniques. The form is clean and angular, with a gentle angle that flare slightly at the rim—offering both balance and comfort in the hand.
Finished in a smooth ivory glaze softens the angular shape of the cup, where the surface is soft to the touch and subtly breaks over a warm reddish-brown clay body, revealing depth and contrast in the details. A raw clay stripe wraps around the body in a gentle oval, creating a visual pause that highlights the natural texture of the material.
With its thin walls and understated design, this cup reflects the Takatoriyaki style of refined simplicity.
