Pre-loved Set of Otani Ware Yunomi (Teacups)
Otani Ware is pottery from the Naruto area of Tokushima Prefecture that dates back to the 1780s
They are most known for producing huge jars that are almost the height of a human adult
For these large pieces, the artisan uses a technique called Nerokuro, lying beneath the pottery wheel and kicking it upwards to turn the piece
Everyday items such as rice bowls, tea and sake cups, as well as decorative pieces, are also produced
These yunomi (teacups) feature a greyish green drip glaze over white, each with a different pattern due to their handcrafted nature
This lighter colour glaze combination is unusual as these usually come in a much darker turquoise
This particular design seems to no longer be in production
Marked “Otani” on base
