This Kutani cup and saucer features a Hanazume pattern, meaning filled with flowers, one of the most notable designs of Kutani ware which was handed down during the Taisho period (1912–26).
Filled with blue and pink flowers all over the body with gold trimming, it has a timeless elegance and sophistication created by hand-drawn technique; there are no two alike.
This Hanazume product is made only by elderly couples in their 80s, and the production volume is very limited, so it is difficult to purchase even in Japan.
Your usual teatime will turn into a wonderful experience with this one of a kind teacup and saucer.

Hanazume
Hanazume is a classic technique in Kutani ware, where flowers are intricately drawn across the entire surface. After the first firing, detailed floral designs are outlined with gold paint before the final firing. This decorative method, introduced by Shiro Mizuta in Kanazawa City during the Taisho period (1912 CE–1926 CE), beautifully combines vibrant flowers with elegant gold to create a stunning piece.
