Striped Yunomi Pair with Chrysanthemum Plate

Origin: Japan Size Cups: L 9cm x H 7cm Type: Yunomi tea cups with matching plates Material: Stoneware with iron-rich red clay Decoration: Hand-painted stripes and floral underglaze (sometsuke) Condition: Excellent vintage condition Markings: Signed under the base of each cup This charming tea cup set includes two hand-thrown yunomi (湯のみ) in a softly tapered shape, paired with matching square plates. The cups are decorated with broad vertical indigo stripes over a beige-toned stoneware body. Each sits on a red clay foot ring, and the unglazed base reveals their rough earthen texture. The matching plates are hand-painted with blue chrysanthemum flowers, a classic motif in Japanese ceramics. Their soft curves and uneven edges give them a gentle wabi-sabi feel. Perfect as a gift or for enjoying tea in a more refined and seasonal setting.
