Finally for today any help with this pair of Yunomi? are they Japanese or British? Spiral decoration, noticeable difference in size so probably not factory produced. Possibly an AY mark (not one I can photograph unfortunately) to base of one but could just my imagination Embarrassed  Shrugs

Because of the difference in size they are likely to be Japanese. Potters can still be sexist over there and they are a male and female set of teacups (yunomis) - the larger one for the man and the smaller one for the lady.

Hadn't occurred to me that the size difference was intentional Embarrassed
