Know before you buy
Shiho-gata refers to the square-shaped rim of the cup. This design element adds a unique geometric aesthetic to the traditional Yunomi style, distinguishing it from standard circular teacups.
Yes, it is designed for everyday tea rituals. However, because it is a vintage ceramic piece, it requires careful hand-washing to maintain its condition.
No, this teacup is neither microwave nor dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the glaze.
With a 140ml capacity, this cup is significantly smaller than a standard Western-style coffee mug. It is specifically sized for traditional tea service, allowing for multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
No, this is a traditional handleless Yunomi teacup. The ceramic material is designed to be held directly in the hand, which also helps you gauge the temperature of your tea.
