Type: This is commonly known as a Yunomi (tea cup) or specifically a Sencha cup, often used for green tea.
Design: The intricate blue floral patterns are hand-painted under the glaze, a technique known as qinghua.
Form: The cup has a pedestal base, making it a "footed" cup, which is sometimes described as a fanggu (ancient style) reproduction.
Usage: While decorative, these porcelain cups are functional for drinking tea or sake.
Excellent condition.
