Both cups have gently irregular, slightly scalloped rims (kuchizukuri), a deliberate departure from perfect symmetry valued in Japanese studio pottery for its wabi-sabi character. Rounded iron-oxide spots are dabbed over the glaze in a loose, asymmetric pattern, adding depth and movement to an otherwise quiet palette. Each footring is left unglazed, exposing a warm reddish clay body, with a small carved notch cut into the foot of each cup — likely a maker's mark or kiln-support release point rather than damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Origin: Japanese studio stoneware, Hagi-style glaze tradition (kiln\/potter unconfirmed — let me know if you have provenance)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Form: Rounded yunomi tea cups, gently scalloped rim, trimmed footring\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Glaze: Grey-green ash glaze with warm pink\/ochre gradient and dabbed iron-oxide spot decoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Base: Unglazed footring exposing reddish-brown clay, with a small carved release notch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Condition: Good vintage\/secondhand condition — please check photos for chips, glaze pooling, or firing marks beyond the characteristic finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Quantity: Pair (sold together)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Dimensions: approx.
