These are a pair of teacups made by an artist I purchased at an art gallery a long time ago. I've forgotten the artist's name, but they were from the Mino area of Gifu, famous for its pottery, and had also won an award. There is a signature "シ" on the back. The artistic expression is a warm black base mixed with brown. The inside also has a touch of brown, which is lovely. It will make your mealtime luxurious. ◯ Size cm Diameter 13.5, Height 6 I am also exhibiting other items #Kevin'sRoom Sadakitsu Sugimoto Tea Ceremony Utensils Teragaito Kiln Shigaraki Hon-Yukiwa-mon Tea Bowl Hounsai So Komo-utsushi Hahotan Tea Bowl Eiraku Zengoro Soken Kyobako Ko-Shigaraki Antique Vintage Brocante Orne de Feuilles vintage antique figurines Feng Shui Fine Art Antiques Buddhist altar fittings Old art and crafts Buddhist statues Buddha Oriental art Amida Nyorai Tea ceremony utensils Old tools Art gallery Modernism Modern art Contemporary art African art Primitive art Art Museum Art art Mid-century Japan Folk Crafts Museum Cubism Asian goods Scandinavian goods American toys American goods Showa retro Taisho Meiji Edo Romance Dolls Bisque doll Figurine Figure Disney Vintage Bronze statue Art Nouveau Art Deco Fortune Fortune Rich Celeb Fire King Yamagiwa Arabia Marimekko Alessi Lisa Larson Bernard Leach Sori Yanagi Takashi Murakami Arita ware Kutani ware Ko-Imari Imari Yachimun Onta ware Koransha Seto Novelty Shigaraki ware Mashiko ware Daigo kiln Kyo-yaki Omuro-yaki Awata-yaki Bizen ware Mino ware Hasami ware Seto ware Tamba ware Ibe ware Kiyomizu-yaki Kyo-yaki Hakusan Toki Bowl Tea utensils Akazu ware Fukagawa Seiji Nabeshima ware Amabro Utensils Holmstok Kensington Cat Noritake Royal Doulton Royal Worcester Royal Albert Rorstrand Meissen Royal Crown Derby Wedgwood Murano Royal Copenhagen Lladro Murano Villeroy & Boch Conran Shop Barz Francfranc IDEE Idee Scandinavian Lifestyle Shop Starbucks Journal Standard Beams Barneys New York United Arrows Tomorrowland Ships Brutus
