Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the porcelain and the unique finish created by the cone 8 oxidation firing.
No, the Green Yunomi features a handleless, tapered design. This traditional style is meant to be held directly in the hands, allowing you to feel the warmth of your tea or coffee.
The cup measures 4 x 4 x 3.25 inches. While it is not explicitly measured in fluid ounces, its size is standard for a traditional yunomi, making it well-suited for a generous serving of tea or a standard coffee.
Because each piece is individually wheel-thrown and fired using a cone 8 oxidation technique, there will be subtle variations in the finish. This ensures that every Green Yunomi is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.
No, this is a single-walled porcelain cup and does not feature insulation. It is designed for the tactile experience of enjoying a beverage, rather than long-term heat retention.
