This exquisite piece is described as a yuteki guinomi (sake cup) by the potter; a sort of Tenmoku ware. The first Tenmoku wares to have found their way to Japan were brought back from China by Buddhist monks in the fourteenth century. The exotic vessels which are compared to pieces of Heaven were much prized by the Ashikaga Shoguns, who reigned over Japan between the 14th and 16th century.
This particular cup with star like drops of iron crystals is a splendid example of the beauty of Tenmoku ...click for details

The name Yamato has been associated with Hagi pottery since the end of the 19th century. This particular guinomi, (sake cup) was made by Yamato Yuji, born in 1946. The silky glaze, which veils the coarse clay, gives the cup, a perfect miniature chawan, its enchanting appeal. This characteristic dualism has contributed to make Hagi ware one of the most sought after ceramic for the tea ceremony. Yamato Yuji, who is a member of the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Association, is a recognized ambas ...click for details

This splendid guinomi (sake cup) is a beautiful example of the timeless beauty of Oribe pottery, though not so much in the form as in the deep emerald green that echoes the color of green tea. Born more than four hundred years ago, that tradition has kept its freshness and attractiveness. And it remains anchored in the present, as a true offspring of Zen.
This large guinomi was made by a potter named Kurosawa Yuichi, born in 1962. Kurosawa Yuichi works mainly in Oribe and has exposed in many ...click for details

This beautiful set of three yunomi is part of a wonderful collection of tea cups acquired over many years by a private Japanese collector.
The artists who made those cups are each 13th generation potters from the Saga prefecture, cradle of two major Japanese pottery styles: Arita and Karatsu. The proximity of that region to the Korean peninsula allowed continental potters and their techniques to settle there and establish kilns which would have a major impact on the production of ceramics in J ...click for details

Kaneko Kuniyoshi, born in 1936, is an internationally recognized painter and illustrator who has lent his talent to decorate this cup and give it a surreal aura; golden rabbits seem to be caught in a downward spiral as in an Alice story. And the tea drunk from this cup might become hallucinogenic. This is a true artist’s oeuvre.
The yunomi is signed, in perfect condit ...click for details
