cosaji - Yunomi/Tea Cup (Light Green Porcelain)

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.
