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 stoneware black clay yunomi has cut sides. It is decorated with orange and white shino glaze and hakeme marks.
Shino glaze is composed primarily of feldspar which is a rock-forming mineral consisting of aluminosilicates of potassium, sodium, and calcium.
Hakeme pottery is a traditional Korean ceramic technique also used by Japanese potters. Slip is applied to the surface of a pottery piece with a brush or other tool to create textured designs.
