About the Item

An exquisite, beautifully crafted, and wonderfully designed Yunomi teacup by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada featuring his nuka glaze over Mashiko stoneware pottery and his hand applied/painted oxide iron brush broken straw bamboo pattern motif - very popular among collectors. A unique work. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition. It is a true pleasure to hold in your hand.
