    This cup is about 3.25" high x 3" top diameter. It is heavily hand decorated and signed on the bottom.

    I have been keeping my eye out for very inexpensive, very meticulously hand painted Japanese yunomi, preferably unsigned. I made an exception for this one as it it met the first two criteria though it is signed. The point of looking for simple, anonymous cups is partially an homage to mingei ware, but this cup turned out to be the least expensive cup I could find. Pretty amazing. This cup misses completely several criteria for mingei ware, not simple, not easily produced in large quantities, not anonymous, etc. Fancy, actually, but too good to pass up.

    I haven't tried to identify the maker, but will update the description if I figure it out.

    I did stumble across the two footed sake cups I was looking for, but they turned out be by Koransha's sister kiln, Fukagawa. I will post them by and by. They are quite fancy and came with a ton of documentation.
