Japanese brown and white yunomi cup

A yunomi cup in mineral shades.

A bluish white glaze runs over the top, then gives way to brown bands and a deep brown bottom. These layers recall the strata of a rock or a winter landscape.

Its tall, straight shape, typical of the everyday Japanese teacup, offers a good grip.

It comes from the Toki-Tajimi area in Gifu Prefecture, the cradle of Mino ware.
