Japanese Teacups - Pair of Blue Obori Soma-yaki Double-Walled Meoto Yunomi
This pair of meoto Obori Soma-yaki yunomi (couple's teacups) are made from heavy, double-walled, porcelain and decorated blue with classic gold horse motifs.
Obori Soma-yaki (大堀相馬焼) is a type of Japanese porcelain produced in the town of Namie in Fukushima Prefecture, and dates back to the early Edo period.
The most distinctive features of Obori-soma ware are its celadon glazes which feature large crazing patterns, hand-painted horse motifs, and double-walled construction. This double-walled technique provides insulation, keeping liquids hot and your hands cool, and is unique to Obori Soma-yaki.
