Blue Garden

Japanese vintage Yunomi cup covered with a lively blue botanical pattern. Leaves and flowers move around the surface like a small enclosed garden, while the simple shape keeps the decoration from feeling formal.

It is a comfortable cup for an everyday serving of tea. The dense pattern gives it character on an open shelf and makes every angle of the cup slightly different.

Made in Japan. 

Estimated period: 1950-1960s

Condition: vintage item; small signs of age may be present
