Fulico - Yunomi/Tea Cup (White Porcelain - 170cc)
It rocks gently on a flat surface — not an accident, but a decision.
The fukico yunomi from MIYAMA is built around an intentionally rounded base that causes the cup to sway slightly when set down. This is not instability — it is a considered choice, one that makes the cup feel alive in the hand and on the table. Made in Mizunami, Gifu using the patterns are all drawn by hand, appearing kneaded in rather than painted on. The exterior is unglazed — glaze only on the inside — and the high-temperature firing vitrifies the porcelain clay itself, producing a smooth matte outer surface without any coating. At 170ml, this is the smaller of the two fukico sizes, suited to focused single servings. Learn more about Mino ware at Tea Ware: Mino Ware.
A cup that earns a second look — from visitors and from you, every morning.

Founded in 1977 in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture — the heart of Mino-yaki ceramic production — MIYAMA has spent nearly five decades mastering the art of slip casting, shaping liquid porcelain in plaster molds to achieve forms that are both precise and quietly expressive.
Under second-generation director Hideyuki Matsuzaki, the studio pursues a guiding philosophy: design pieces that invite you to imagine the moment of use. Good Design Award recognition for the KOWAKE (2004), column (2006), and isola/sasasa (2010) series reflects a body of work that pairs gentle humor with careful craft — tableware that earns a place in everyday life without demanding attention.
