cosaji - Yunomi/Tea Cup (Light Green Porcelain)

Light green that reads as celadon from a distance and pale jade up close.

The cosaji yunomi from MIYAMA has a small spoon-shaped curve at the rim that rounds the sip and makes the profile subtly interesting. Made in Mizunami, Gifu, the bare porcelain exterior is smooth and cool to the touch — no glaze, just dense clay with a quiet matte finish. Inside, the light green sits somewhere between celadon and pale jade, neither mint nor sage — a soft coolness that settles into the cup rather than announcing itself. In this colourway the rim curve catches the light more gently than in the deep blue, making the cup feel quieter before you even lift it. Learn more about Mino ware at Tea Ware: Mino Ware.

For green tea — sencha in particular — the colour creates an easy, natural harmony with what's inside.

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.
