Tezumi Japanese Teacup Yunomi

This teacup is in excellent vintage condition, meaning it has been carefully inspected and shows no significant damage or functional defects. Because it is a pre-owned artisanal item, you may notice very minor signs of age that contribute to its unique character, but it is fully ready for daily use.

At 120ml, this yunomi is smaller than a standard Western teacup, which typically holds 200ml to 250ml. This size is specifically designed for traditional Japanese tea service, allowing you to enjoy multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea in smaller, focused portions.

No, each piece is unique. While the dark blue hare's fur glaze is consistent in style, the specific distribution and intensity of the pattern vary from cup to cup due to the artisanal firing process. You will receive a piece that shares the same aesthetic spirit as the one pictured, but with its own distinct markings.

Yes, the rounded, ergonomic shape is designed to fit naturally in the palm of your hand. Because it lacks a handle, the ceramic material will absorb some heat, but the size is intended to be held comfortably while the tea is at a drinkable temperature.

While it is designed for traditional tea service, its size and shape make it versatile enough for other uses. It works beautifully as a small vessel for sake, a tasting cup for coffee, or even as a decorative piece for holding small items.
