Vintage Japanese Studio Pottery Cup
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.
This yunomi-style vessel fits comfortably in the hand — ideal for tea, sake, or simply as a sculptural display piece. The glaze variations and subtle foot ring add depth and authenticity. Props not included.
