Set of Five Sencha Teacups (Sencha wan) with Lattice Pattern

The image shows five teacups with a lattice pattern. The teacups are arranged in a staggered line, with two on the left side, one in the center, and two on the right side. The teacups have white interiors and exteriors with a black and white lattice pattern around the bottom. The lattice pattern resembles a plaid or tartan design, with intersecting black lines forming squares. The teacups have a wide mouth and a narrow base. The background of the image is a dark gray color. The teacups are casting a slight shadow on the surface below them.
