Exquisite Set of 4 Signed Ichidogama Japanese Yunomi Tea Cups / Tumblers Up for your consideration is a stunning, beautifully matched set of four artisan-crafted Yunomi (handleless everyday cups) from the celebrated Ichidogama (一道窯) Kiln in Kumamoto, Japan. Hand-thrown by master potter Ichido Takada (髙田一道), these gorgeous vessels are perfectly balanced to serve as sophisticated teacups, cocktail tumblers, or matcha vessels. Artisan Craftsmanship & Style True to Takada’s celebrated style, these pieces highlight the natural tactile qualities of iron-rich black clay sourced locally from Kumamoto. Each cup is built with an organic, "folded" contour and distinct thumb indents that elegantly hug the natural shape of the human palm for an incredibly stable, warm grip. Three of the cups feature a lustrous, solid persimmon-brown iron glaze, while the fourth features a striking, abstract contrast glaze run—a traditional Japanese design choice meant to provide a beautiful visual counterpoint within a serving set.
