Looking to get some meoto yunomi as I am getting married soon (yay) and would like a husband and wife cup set. :D

I was looking at these cups and I cannot for the life of me identify their maker (the seller also does not know). They are used--would it be a bad purchase decision? And who is the craftsman, if they are not mass-marketed cups?

Otherwise, I would greatly appreciate suggestions on other "couple" tea cups. I would prefer stoneware over porcelain if possible. Thanks so much!

Japanese teaware can be expensive, but to invest in a new set that you buy (together) and know the artist and remember the day you received them, as the years pass happily and they fill not only with tea but memories.
However, your pictured set are beautiful cups and for that reason alone they will serve you very well.
Several vendors accessed through the internet have teaware of all kinds, as well as potters who could make you a custom set if you work together.
In the end, a teacup is a teacup is a teacup. Choose with intent and then enjoy!
And congratulations on your upcoming marriage.
