White Dove Teacup

This cute Japanese teacup features a dove flying gracefully. In Japan, the white dove is a symbol of peace and happiness. Kutani ware is known for its hand-painted designs created with traditional Japanese pigments, and you can see that the painted areas are slightly raised.

The shape is crafted on a potter’s wheel, giving it a warm and comfortable feel in your hand. In addition to tea or coffee, it is also perfect for soups, yogurt, ice cream, and many other dishes.

This teacup is available in several patterns, including pig, cat, turtle, dragon, elephant, goldfish, and rabbit.
