Handcrafted in Ibaraki, Japan by ceramic artist Fujii Keibun, this striking yunomi (Japanese tea cup) showcases a vivid crimson camellia in raised relief against a warm, textured earthen backdrop. The sculpted flower and hand-painted foliage bring a sense of movement and life to the piece, while the natural clay body and subtle glazing reflect the beauty of traditional Japanese pottery.
Designed for everyday tea enjoyment as well as collecting, this yunomi embodies the Japanese appreciation for wabi-sabi—finding beauty in natural textures, handcrafted imperfections, and the passage of time.
The gently tapered form sits comfortably in the hand, making it ideal for enjoying matcha, sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, or other fine teas. Each cup is individually handmade, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.
