Traditional hues bring brightness to this porcelain yunomi teacup. Its classic form is adorned with Japanese patterns and motifs, rendered in a harmonious palette.

The red decorative lines are executed in akae, using Zoho Kiln’s specially developed natural bengara pigment, prepared from a bengara material no longer in production and carefully preserved by the kiln. In soft, fluid brushwork, phoenix and peony motifs lend refinement and elegant dignity to the surface.

 Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this teacup brings a gentle sense of calm to the everyday ritual of tea.
