Tasei Kiln Lustrous Pink Sakura Arita Ware Japanese Teacup
This is a small charming teacup decorated with four beautifully painted sakura (cherry blossom) flowers on its sides.
The light pink sakura flowers are highlighted on a shiny surface created by a coat of a lustrous glaze. At Tasei Kiln, two skilled female artisans with over 40 years of experience paint intricate and graceful patterns, and coat each item with a luster glaze. Their special technique gives the teacup a luxurious and stylish feel. The sakura designs are masked, and then the remaining surface is given the luster glaze. The glazed surface has a distinct textured glossy glimmer and shines beautifully under light.
Furthermore, what makes this teacup special is the appearance of a cherry blossom design when green tea is poured into the teacup. You can enjoy the delicate design of a cherry blossom on the outside and the inside of the teacup.
To create a beautiful sakura theme setting for a tea party, match the cup with the teapot and small plate in the same sakura motif.
Tasei Kiln was established as a kiln of Arita Ware in 1956 and has been producing beautiful Arita ware for more than 60 years. They create tableware in a variety of unique shapes, not only round and square, and make friendly and hearty products based on the concept of decorating the tabletop with liveliness. The charm of Tasei Kiln's products is in their unique, simple, and easy-to-use designs, as well as in the delicate colors used in their painting.

They make for an eye-catching collection of teaware that will brighten up your table top. Although commonly associated with the arrival of spring, the blooms on these items are timeless and can be used any time throughout the year.

The pottery brings color and enjoyment to our daily lives during the four seasons, and the many dishes that decorate various dining tables, sometimes brilliantly, sometimes chicly, incorporate tradition and new techniques, making the pottery environmentally friendly. In the overglaze painting process, they use lead-free paints developed by Arita in consideration of safety. These products can be used comfortably and safely by everyone from small children to the elderly. Also, the popular design of the bond motif makes these products suitable as gifts for life's milestones, such as marriage and longevity celebrations.
ABOUT ARITA WARE
Arita Ware, made in the town of Arita in Saga Prefecture, is the oldest porcelain production area in Japan's history. Arita porcelain is characterized by its translucent white porcelain surface, dyeing using "Gosu" (indigo pigment), and gorgeous red painting using glassy overglaze pigments (red, green, yellow, purple, and blue). The pottery is highly durable and is produced in a wide variety of styles, from fine art to daily necessities. It was exported to Europe, where it was prized as fine art and called "white gold".
Arita Ware is also a prestigious brand that is admired by ceramicists from other regions as a representative porcelain production area.

Perfection
You sent my items in a beautifully wrapped package. It was a joy to unwrap my new tableware. This teacup is delicate and pretty. It is still heavy enough that my tea remains warm as I drink it. My evening cup of lavender tea is even more relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful product.
