Fuyu Yunomi, Japanese Teacup

Fuyu, meaning winter. Blue icicles down a cream cup.

The Fuyu Yunomi is a Mino ware cup with a handle, in a cream glaze with blue and white streaks running down from a dark rim like icicles, and a small ring pressed into the top of the handle. The inside is cream. A pale inside shows the colour of the tea honestly, so you can judge a sencha at a glance. At 280 ml it is a mug for a long sencha or an evening hōjicha.

Mino ware (美濃焼, Mino-yaki) is one of Japan's most celebrated pottery traditions, produced in the Gifu Prefecture region for over 1,300 years and known for the sheer variety of its glazes and techniques.

Made in Mino, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
