About MeThe yunomi is a type of Japanese teacup for daily tea drinking. A yunomi does not have a handle and is designed to be cradled in both hands.
This yunomi is decorated with pale green nuka glaze on the interior and dark brown tenmoku glaze on the exterior. Both of these glazes originated in Japan. The potter has used his fingers to create the finger wiped decoration.
