Price per teacup, not a set. This yunomi is dishwasher and food safe, though handwashing is strongly recommended. Please handle your pots with care, as the sharper edges may chip if struck forcefully. Keep in mind that this isn’t a mass-produced factory pot; it’s a unique handmade piece. The semi-matte surface of the liner glaze results from the extended firing schedule, and there are no toxic ingredients in its formula. The interaction between the liner and outer glaze creates a magnificent running dotted coloration, which is one of my personal favorite aspects of this series.

Each piece in this series varies slightly in size and pattern, much like cubs from the same family. Instead of trying to make all cups identical, I purposely modify the orientation and speed of my hands when giving them their unique final shape. Consequently, even if they start the same, they become different afterward. This may sometimes alter their height and width by a few millimeters too. I do this to give them personality, much like how all of us are continuously shaped by our environment and influence it back as well.
