Hyakka Yunomi, Japanese Teacup

Hyakka, meaning a hundred flowers. Chrysanthemums crowded over deep blue.

The Hyakka Yunomi is a Mino ware cup with a handle, its body covered in white chrysanthemum-like flowers drawn over a deep blue ground, with a band of bare tan clay at the foot and a pale grey-white inside. A pale inside shows the colour of the tea honestly, so you can judge a sencha at a glance. At 240 ml it is a sencha cup you refill through the morning.

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.
