Japanese tea cups Momiji black and red – Set of 2

Two tea cups without handle, one black, the other orange red.

Their white inside is decorated with red and orange maple leaves. The maple, momiji, is the emblem of the Japanese autumn, the season of momijigari, when people go out to admire the foliage.

Their tall, slightly flared shape keeps the tea warm and sits well in the hand.

They come from Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, one of the major centres of everyday Japanese porcelain.

This pair of colours makes a lovely gift for a couple. For green tea or hojicha. Made in Japan.
