Hand-painted Yunomi Tea Cup – Ink Blossom

This hand-painted yunomi tea cup features an expressive ink-style floral design flowing freely across a soft, milky glaze. The loose brushwork and subtle splashes of pigment evoke the feeling of Japanese sumi-e painting, where movement, balance, and negative space are just as important as the motif itself. Each line feels spontaneous yet deliberate, giving the cup a quiet sense of rhythm and life.

Handcrafted in Japan, this yunomi is gently rounded and comfortable in the hand, grounded by a warm, earthy foot that reveals the natural clay beneath the glaze. Designed for daily tea rituals, it celebrates imperfection and individuality — no two cups are exactly alike. Variations in brushstroke, tone, and glaze are part of its character, reflecting the artist’s hand and the enduring beauty of handmade ceramics.

As the whole piece is handmade in Gifu, Japan, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
