Vintage item, never used. This set of five Arita-yaki 有田焼 cups beautifully reflects the refined elegance and seasonal sensitivity characteristic of traditional Japanese porcelain.
Each cup is crafted in a soft, pale glaze, with a subtly fluted surface that adds both texture and a gentle play of light. Delicately hand-painted floral motifs adorn each piece—no two are exactly the same—featuring a variety of blossoms in soft hues of pink, green, and coral. These designs evoke the changing seasons, a hallmark of Japanese aesthetics, bringing a quiet sense of nature to everyday tea moments.
The cups are lightweight yet finely made, with a smooth, comfortable lip and a balanced form ideal for enjoying green tea or other warm infusions. A thin line of gilt along the rim adds a subtle touch of elegance without overpowering the gentle design.
Presented in its original box, this set speaks to the tradition of Japanese gift-giving, where beauty and utility are thoughtfully combined. This yunomi set is perfect for daily use or as a graceful addition to a Japanese tableware collection—offering a moment of calm and seasonal appreciation with every cup.
