About the Item

An exquisite, beautifully crafted, and wonderfully designed striped Yunomi teacup by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada featuring his nuka glaze over Mashiko stoneware pottery and hand-painted iron motif design. A unique work. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition. It is a true pleasure to hold in your hand. The original Hamada signed and sealed wood storage box is included.
