Persimmon yunomi teacups from the Touan kiln

Persimmon fruit are a very common sight in Japan in the Fall. The realistic design on these cups perfectly captures the scene of heavy branches laden with ripe fruit. The warm orange tones contrast beautifully with the dark green leaves against the creamy white background. The cups have a lovely smooth texture and the white glaze on the inside makes it easier to appreciate the color of green tea.
