This unique yunomi (湯呑み) stands out with its sculptural, tripod-inspired base and earthy glaze, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with a playful, contemporary twist. Each angle reveals new details, making it a true conversation piece.
Design Highlights:
Form:The cup features a gently flared rim and a slightly conical body that rests on three rounded "feet," giving it a distinctive, elevated presence. The base is organically shaped, providing visual interest from every angle.
Texture & Glaze:The exterior is finished in a warm, speckled brown glaze with subtle variations, while the interior is slightly lighter, showcasing the natural beauty of the clay. The glaze pools and thins in places, emphasizing the hand-built character.
Material:High-fired stoneware
Finish:Matte to semi-gloss brown glaze with rustic undertones
Dimensions:Approx. 8cm (diameter at rim) x 9cm (height)
Care:Hand wash recommended
Three-legged design is not only visually striking but also rooted in Japanese ceramic traditions that celebrate asymmetry and imperfection. The elevated form and tactile surface make this cup perfect for tea ceremonies, sake, or as a decorative vessel.
