Yunomi
A yunomi is a form of teacup, typically made from a ceramic material, being taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot. Unlike the more formal chawan tea bowl which is used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the yunomi is made for daily tea drinking.
There are special pairs of yunomi called meoto yunomi. Meoto yunomi usually consist of two cups with the same pattern but different sizes and often slightly different shapes.
Many contemporary potters, both in the East and West, make yunomi and as a genre, the yunomi has become a much-collected item.
