Showa period, 1960s–1980s
Vintage Japanese Teacups "Blue Flowers", 40 ml
Option
Entirely hand-painted with blue cobalt in the sometsuke style (featuring ume plum blossom motifs), these cups date roughly to the second half of the 20th century (Showa period, circa 1960s–1980s). Each piece has subtle variations that are delightful to explore.
The walls are quite thin, making them best suited for lighter teas. A charming detail is that the cups rest on three small feet.
