Description
Here is a stunning set of late 20th-century Japanese Seto Ware Yunomi cups. As a beautiful example of traditional Japanese utilitarian art, Yunomi cups are designed to bring a sense of nature and mindfulness to the daily tea ritual. Crafted from high-fired stoneware clay, they are layered with a mineral-based ash glaze and decorated with an underglaze pigment. Each cup features a classic, slightly tapered cylindrical silhouette adorned with an abstract, hand-painted iron brushstroke motif representing bamboo. Because they are individually painted, each brushstroke varies slightly, beautifully emphasizing the aesthetic value of wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection).
You may notice that this set includes exactly five cups; in Japanese culture, odd numbers are favoured for tableware, while even numbers—especially four—are avoided as unlucky. This stunning set will complement any modern home, serving either as a functional tea set or as a beautiful cultural display that acts as an excellent conversation starter.

The dimensions are as follows: H: 9cm - W: 5.5cm - L: 5.5cm
