This elegant pair of Japanese yunomi teacups is crafted by Awaji Pottery Kiln (淡路陶園) , a kiln known for its gentle aesthetics and traditional glazing techniques. Finished in a soothing celadon-green crackle glaze, each cup is hand-painted with a delicate white water narcissus (suisen) motif, symbolizing purity and quiet resilience.
This piece is inspired by the suisen (water narcissus) 水仙, a flower that blooms quietly in winter and is loved for its refined beauty and delicate fragrance. The design expresses the natural elegance of the flower through soft brushwork and gentle glazing. Each vessel is carefully crafted and hand-painted, making every piece slightly unique in color and expression. The subtle variations are part of the charm of handmade pottery.
The interior reveals a soft, earthy brown glaze, creating a warm contrast to the cool exterior tones. Subtle brushwork of leaves and stems flows naturally around each cup, highlighting the handcrafted character and individuality of the pair. The unglazed clay foot adds stability while preserving the rustic charm of Japanese stoneware.
