GOSU Yunomi/Teacup

"Gosu" is a historic blue pigment that has been traditionally used in ceramics, particularly in blue and white ware. "Gosu"  has since become widely used across various ceramic production areas. Unlike other pigments, Gosu Blue is known for its durability, as it is applied to unglazed pottery, ensuring the colour remains vibrant and does not fade over time. Although collectively referred to as Gosu Blue, the pigment comes in a range of shades, from deep, muted blues to bright and vivid tones, and even soft, delicate light blues.
