Vintage Japanese Studio Pottery Cup

£42.00

A beautifully hand-thrown Japanese pottery cup featuring a warm brown glaze and circular medallion brushwork motif in cream, cobalt, and sienna. The painterly mark on the front evokes traditional Mashiko or Mingei folk-art influences, blending function and wabi-sabi beauty.
