This complete set of five lidded teacups "Yunomi (湯呑)" was produced by Nangoku Kogeisha in Kagoshima, Japan, during the late Showa era. The cream‑toned glaze is fully covered with fine ice‑crackle crazing. Both cups and lids are decorated with hand‑painted chrysanthemum motifs, featuring green‑white petals enhanced with gilding, presenting an ornate and elegant style, ideal for tea‑drinking.

All five pieces, unused. Each cup is fitted with a domed lid with knob finial. The base bears the red factory mark "Satsuma‑A (薩摩亞)". It comes with its original paulownia Tomobako (共箱); the box lid bears the inscription "Obi‑Yunomi (帯湯呑)", alongside the original pottery information leaflet "Toreki (陶歷)".

Due to age, natural crazing and age‑related traces appear on the glaze. No hairlines, no repairs, no chips. The original paulownia box shows natural wear, dust and age‑related discoloration. Overall good condition.
