A striking pair of larger-scale antique Japanese Imari yunomi (tea cups), dating to the late Meiji or early Taisho period (circa 1900–1920). These cups are meticulously hand-painted with vibrant underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron red, highlighted by rich gilt accents.
The exterior features alternating narrative panels depicting a traditional Japanese brushwood fence (Shiba) alongside pine trees and floral blossoms, contrasted by bold red medallions showcasing stylized mythical creatures. The interior rim is finished with a geometric diaper border and red cartouches, centering a detailed underglaze blue floral basket medallion at the bottom of the well.
Featuring a slightly flared rim and an elegant profile, these substantial cups rest on unglazed foot rings with clean, unmarked bases. Perfect for display or functional use.
