The surface of this teacup is adorned with a pattern of camellias outlined in bold white strokes, and it is filled with highly saturated colors, presenting an overall sense of elegance and sophistication.
Kokuzou Kiln, known for gentle and warm stoneware with beautiful colors and elegant design, continue to create everyday tableware into something more special. This craftsmanship, known as Kutani ware, has been highly popular since the Meiji era (1868 CE – 1912 CE), both domestically and internationally. This teacup is meticulously handcrafted, undergoing 12 to 14 steps before it graces us.
The size of this teacup is 320 ml (10.8 oz) just right to be cradled by two hands. After a busy day's work or life's challenges, the warmth of the hot coffee slowly seeps through the rounded cup walls, spreading into the palms, and eventually, this comforting warmth flows into your heart, dispelling all weariness.
Unlike ordinary cups, the rim of this teacup features graceful curves, adding an extra layer of enjoyment during use. Inside the teacups, you can also see the petals of the flower while you are drinking. This cup is available in two color options: red and black. These teacups can be used as a pair in everyday life, making them ideal for sharing moments with your partner or friends.
This teacup holds many more surprises within. There are inconspicuous black spots on the inside, and it is these randomly occurring dots that give the cup its unique personality. Furthermore, this teacup exhibits excellent water absorption, and over time, after repeated use for enjoying coffee or tea, the cup's interior develops subtle, varying marks, akin to the rings of a tree, recording the passage of time and the moments this cup has shared with us.
Note:
You may find small pink spots known as gohonde on the surface of this item. The iron in the material creates natural spots after being fired in the kiln. The appearance of gohonde actually expresses that the item has been properly fired, and its precious beauty is highly regarded amongst craftsmen.
Please enjoy the beauty of gohonde as a unique feature of this item.
