Wakoen (和光園) Blue-and-White Landscape Yunomi Teacup
THB 39
A small Japanese-style porcelain yunomi marked Wakoen (和光園) to the underside. The cup has a straight cylindrical profile and a low ring foot, decorated in cobalt blue on white with a framed mountain-and-water landscape, floral scrollwork, geometric reserves, and blue rim and foot bands. It is likely a commercially produced Japanese-market tea cup from a set rather than a one-off studio work. The apparent exterior hairline line should be examined before sale or use with hot liquid; maker, kiln, exact origin, technique, and date remain tentative.

Object details
- Condition
- Fair
Glossy glaze and decoration remain generally bright in the photographed areas. A long, fine vertical line running from the rim down the exterior at the right side of the side-view photograph appears consistent with a hairline crack, though a strong reflected highlight cannot be fully excluded from the image alone. No rim chip is clearly visible in the supplied views. - Noted imperfections
- Possible long exterior hairline crack, rim to lower body, visible in one photograph; confirmation by close inspection under raking light is required.
- Origin
- Japan, probable as a Japanese-market Wakoen (和光園) product; the specific production town or kiln is not established from these photographs.
- Kiln / maker
- Wakoen / Wakōen (和光園) brand mark. Some market listings associate Wakoen tableware with Daiichi Toki Co., Ltd. (第一陶器), but that connection is not proven for this specific cup.
- Estimated era
- Late 20th to early 21st century, tentatively circa 1970–2005
confidence: low - Inventory no.
