Midori green Oribe ceramic Japanese cup

A small Japanese cup in deep green hues, whose glaze reveals a lively and naturally irregular decor.

This Japanese Midori cup first captivates with its color. Its deep green glaze visually oscillates between olive, moss, and almost black shades depending on the light. The glossy surface reveals slight variations in tint, while a lighter, textured area enlivens the lower part of the cup.

Its compact and slightly rounded shape fits naturally in the hand. With a capacity of 140 ml, it is particularly well suited for small portions of tea, while also accommodating other hot beverages as desired.

The name Oribe associated with this model echoes its characteristic green. Visually, the cup favors the irregularity of the glaze and nuances rather than a figurative motif. A sober, organic aesthetic, close to the wabi-sabi spirit described in the project's vocabulary: the material and its variations become the true decor here.

A discreet yet expressive cup, easy to integrate into a Japanese tea set or contemporary tableware.
