HANA TSUDOI means flower gathering in Japanese. There are twelve tea cups in this series, and different flowers from season to season are decorated in each cup. HANA TSUDOI tea cup is one of the most popular in the advanced line at Tohan Kiln.
RAN means orchid in Japanese. Three orchid flowers colored in white, pink, and orange are elegantly blooming on the outer face. Each petal is decorated with the use of paint gradation, giving the flowers a very realistic appearance. The golden color of the petal lines also adds to the gorgeous atmosphere of the orchid flowers.
The inside and outside of this Yunomi are glazed white and finished with brush lines, which create a fine atmosphere. One can see the natural color of the clay at the rim and base, which modestly accents the beautiful white glaze. Violet and green color glaze coat the outer surface of the white brush glaze, enhancing the graceful atmosphere of the orchid flowers. The white glaze coated outside the teacup is also used to express the white orchid.
The flowers and white glaze on each cup bring a warm atmosphere. We are certain that this Yunomi will enrich your green tea moment.
