Yunomi Cups - Clear Glaze & Tenmoku

This Yunomi Cup is thrown on the wheel and finished with a clear glaze, gently layered with spontaneous splashes of tenmoku glaze. The contrast between the transparent surface and the deep, inky marks creates a quiet energy—each cup capturing its own moment of movement. The clear glaze lets the natural tone and texture of the clay shine through, while the tenmoku adds rhythm, depth, and a sense of play.

With its compact size and small foot, the form feels light and balanced, sitting comfortably in your hand. It’s the kind of piece that invites you to slow down, take a sip, and enjoy the stillness of your everyday rituals. Simple, thoughtful, and made to be used.

Why You’ll Love It

This yunomi-style cup was made for everyday rituals—those quiet, grounding moments that help you slow down. I threw it on the wheel and finished it with a clear glaze and expressive splashes of tenmoku. The dark, iron-rich glaze dances across the surface, creating warm browns, soft golden edges, and sometimes a touch of rust where it gathers.

Each splash is spontaneous and loose, giving every cup its own unique rhythm. Some are bold in contrast, others more gentle and moody—but all have that quiet, organic movement that makes them feel alive.
