For several decades, porcelain was produced on the Uradome coast with the support of the Tottori Clan. Pottery stones were brought from the mountains between the fishing villages of Tago and Oguri, and fired in a kiln in between them. When the Meiji Restoration ushered in the abolishment of the shogunate in roughly 1868, this porcelain production vanished. But in March, 1971, a climbing kiln was once again built at the foot of the mountains on the side of Kiriyama Castle. Since then, porcelain vessels have been produced once again, made for contemporary life, using the same stones as those used during the Edo Period.
Savor your tea with this Uradome-yaki porcelain yunomi (tea cup) . Yunomi do not have handles, allowing the warmth of the cup to transfer to your hands. The surface of this white glazed yunomi is beveled to create a polyhedral shape. This makes it comfortable and stable to hold in your hand.
