Hanazume Kutani Yunomi Japanese Teacup Pair
This is a pair of lidded Japanese teacups decorated with hanazume, a style characterized by a surface lavishly filled with flowers. Hanazume is one of the most notable designs of Kutani ware, a style that has been handed down since the Taisho period (1912–1926).
Colorful flowers adorn the entire body and the lids of the teacups, complemented by gold trimmings, lending a timeless elegance and sophistication. As each piece is individually crafted, slight variations in the finish may be present, highlighting their unique charm.
These lidded teacups are perfect for entertaining guests as the lids keep the tea from cooling too quickly. For casual occasions, relish relaxed tea moments with friends and family using these cups without their lids. These cups are versatile, suitable not only for Japanese green tea or hojicha roasted tea but also for a variety of beverages like coffee and black tea.

United StatesExquisite pieces!
I don’t think I will use them often, they are pieces of art. I prefer displaying them instead.
