Japanese Teacup - Mountainous Tsutsu-gata Tokoname-yaki Yunomi - 150ml

This tsutsu-gata Tokoname-yaki yunomi (teacup) features an engraved scene of boat on a river between two mountains.

Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century. Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content.
