One of a set of five ivory-colored tea cups decorated on the exterior with a poem, written delicately in a Japanese script. The cup has considerable crazing, and the bottom, which features a swirl of clay affixed over a raised star pattern, is unglazed and darker than the upper portion. It is accompanied by a wooden box and a small paper with "3" written on it.
