This listing is for a pair of Kiyomizu-ware yunomi tea cups made around 20 years ago and signed ‘Shinzan’.  They are wheel-thrown and feature thick crackle glaze over a red stoneware base.  They have a beautiful smooth finish and their deep blue colour is most suitable during the cooler months.  The signature of the kiln can be found on the bottom of each cup and they come with a signed wooden storage box.

Kiyomizu-ware refers to a type or variation of Kyo-ware. Nonomura Ninsei is regarded as one of the key figures responsible for the development of the beautiful Kiyomizu-ware style that we know today. He produced tea utensils and mastered the secret technique for hand-painting overglaze enamels to look like brocade. This technique is very highly regarded and ranks up there with the finest Kutani-ware and Imari.
