EGG PLANT JAPANESE TEA CUP 3.25"

Description

This is a traditional Japanese teacup, known as a "Yunomi." While similar in form to some Chinese cups, the calligraphic style and the Japanese Hiragana script 「おいしい」 (oishii), which means "delicious," confirm its Japanese origin. Yunomi are handle-less cups designed for daily, informal tea drinking (like sencha or bancha). This particular cup is made from a speckled ceramic and features a classic Japanese brushstroke painting of an eggplant ("nasu"). The handle-less design allows the drinker to comfortably hold the cup and feel the warmth of the tea. 這款杯子是日本的傳統茶杯，在日文中，這種沒有握柄的日常用茶杯被稱為「湯のみ (Yunomi)」。杯身上的日文平假名「おいしい」(oishii) 是「好喝、好吃」的意思，這點也確認了它的日本風格。這款湯吞杯採用了帶有斑點的釉面，上面繪有寫意風格的茄子水墨畫。其無握柄的設計，是為了讓品茶者能直接感受茶湯的溫度，是品嚐日本煎茶、番茶等日常茶品的理想杯具。
