🎎 Vintage Japanese Guinomi Sake Cup – Turquoise-Blue Glaze with Floral Interior
🎎 This vintage Japanese guinomi (sake cup) reflects the understated beauty of traditional mingei craft. Its smooth exterior is finished in a soft turquoise-blue glaze, subtly shifting tones in the light, while the interior reveals a creamy ivory surface adorned with a delicate hand-painted blue floral motif. A warm brown edge at the lip and natural scuffing on the foot hint at its quiet journey through time.
In Japan, guinomi are slightly larger than the ceremonial ochoko cups, inviting a more relaxed, personal enjoyment of sake. The floral motif inside this cup is a small reminder of Japan’s deep seasonal awareness, turning each sip into a mindful ritual. Whether displayed or used, this piece carries the essence of wabi-sabi—beauty in simplicity and timeworn grace.
