This listing is for a pair of Oribe-ware espresso cup and saucers made around 20-30 years ago by Tohzan Gama.  Each piece is wheel-thrown and decorated with a simple yet modern striped pattern, and trimmed with green copper glaze.  The stamp of the kiln can be found on the bottom of each piece. 

Oribe-ware uses blue or green copper glazes and often features simple design motifs such as squares, rectangles, and circles. It takes its name from Furuta Oribe, a tea master and pupil of Sen Rikyu. For Japanese potters, it was the first use of colour in the glazing of stoneware, and at the time was said to have a very simple and modernistic look about it. These days Oribe-ware still enjoys much popularity, with plates, bowls, and cups commonly produced in and around the Seto area.
