A vintage pair of Mino-yaki (美濃焼) yunomi tea cups, thoughtfully designed for couples and family tea moments. Each cup is individually inscribed with 「お父さん」 (Father) and 「お母さん」 (Mother) making this set a warm expression of appreciation and togetherness.
Crafted in Japan's renowned Mino-yaki tradition, these cups feature contrasting glazes that beautifully complement one another. The Father cup is finished in a rich deep blue glaze, while the Mother cup is decorated in warm reddish-brown tones. Both are adorned with bold, hand-brushed calligraphic characters that give each piece a rustic, folk-inspired charm. The softly rounded form sits comfortably in the hands, making them ideal for everyday tea, coffee, or other warm beverages.
Presented in the original illustrated gift box, this matching pair was created as a thoughtful gift for parents, anniversaries, or special family occasions. Their simple yet meaningful design celebrates the quiet rituals of sharing tea and spending time together.
A delightful and meaningful example of Japanese Mino-yaki craftsmanship, this "Father & Mother" yunomi pair is perfect for collectors of Japanese pottery, tea lovers, or anyone searching for a unique and heartfelt gift that embodies warmth, gratitude, and everyday Japanese tradition.
