Japanese Porcelain Yunomi Teacup
This is a vintage Japanese porcelain teacup. It is decorated with stylized clouds, pine branches, autumn grasses, lattice motifs, and brocade-style textile panels with gilt scrollwork. The interior features a geometric blue band near the rim and a round blue-and-red design on the bottom. The cup has a rounded lower body with a subtly faceted upper section and rim.
This cup is called yunomi, made for serving and drinking sencha (standard loose-leaf tea). It is typically brought to guests in one's home, a business, or a restaurant on a lacquered obon tray.
