Kutani-yaki ware (九谷焼) is a traditional Japanese painted pottery named after its place of origin, Kutani, Japan, with a history of over 350 years. Known for its bright colors and intricate designs inspired by nature, Kutani ware represents one of Japan’s most distinctive ceramic arts.

This floral tea cup set is decorated with Goh-Souka patterns, featuring peony, red plum, bamboo leaves, violets, and irises. Each flower is vividly painted in different colors, resembling a delicate floral painting that brings the feeling of blossoms in full bloom. Traditional Japanese painting techniques are used, with outlines in green, yellow, white, dark blue, and red, creating a harmonious and refined color palette. The combination of classic painting style and brown retro glaze highlights the unique character of Kutani ware.

During firing, visible grainy textures naturally form on the cups, while ice-crackle patterns appear translucent and charming. Golden lines outline the flowers and leaves, adding a subtle sense of luxury. Presented in a paulownia wood gift box, this tea cup set brings Japanese artistry into daily life and is ideal for use, collection, or gifting to tea lovers.
