Vintage Japanese Bihō (美峰) Samurai Warrior Yunomi Teacups - Pair
Enhance your collection or daily tea ritual with this striking pair of vintage Japanese Yunomi (handleless) teacups.

Both pieces showcase an intentional, fine decorative crackle glaze (Kannyu) over a warm cream stoneware base, heavily favored in mid-century Japanese decorative arts. The underside of both cups features the hand-painted red signature mark for the artisan/kiln, "美峰" (Bihō).
