Blue Cup & Saucer 8 oz

Crafted by Yoshihiro Nanao, a potter inspired by the mingei tradition of Japanese folk crafts, this cup and saucer set embodies his philosophy. As Nanao himself says, "Every day, I craft pottery with the hope of creating warm pieces that bring comfort and beauty to everyday life."

The soft blue glaze, touched with hints of green, gives each piece its own unique character. Inside, the cream white glaze contrasts gently with the warm brown rim. The handle, with its small finger rest, adds a simple, charming touch that feels both functional and welcoming.

This cup holds 8 oz comfortably, or 12 oz when filled to the brim—perfect for tea, coffee, or even a comforting bowl of soup. The 7" saucer, with its versatile size, works beautifully as a cake plate.

Please read before purchasing:

• Since each piece is handmade, even items with the same design may vary slightly in size, color, and appearance. Please refer to the photos and videos of items A–D for details.
• Some ceramic pieces may have pinholes, small black spots, or minor imperfections. These are natural characteristics of ceramics and should be embraced.
• Over time, you may notice changes in color and texture as the piece ages.

Please make your purchase with an understanding of these natural qualities and check out our How to Care For Ceramics page for more information.
