Up for bid is a pair of fine handmade Shino glazed Japanese pottery tea cups, for man and woman.  The man's cup is 3 1/2 inches tall by 2 ¾ inches in diameter, while the woman's cup is 3 ¼ inches tall by 2 ½ inches in diameter.  Both have a thick, bubbly Shino glaze, blue shading to an off white.  The bodies are a rough gray pottery with red coloring from the kiln.  The sides have horizontal ridges from the potting. Both cups have the same circular impressed mark on the bottom.

Condition on the cups is good, with no damage.  A nice pair of distinctive Japanese pottery cups!
