Kutani Golden Hanazume Japanese Teacup, "Yunomi"

Product Description​

Teacups are called "Yunomi" in Japanese. It is a vertical, cylindrical teacup commonly used for drinking Japanese tea by hand. Because of its large capacity, the area where the tea comes into contact with the air is small, which means that it does not get cold easily.

"Hanazume" is a technique that was introduced to Kutani during the Taisho period in Japan (1913) by the renowned craftsman Shiro Mizuta of Kanazawa. It consists of covering the surface of the vessel with various flowers and outlining their contours in gold.

This design is distinctive, brightens up dining tables and represents the luxurious and splendid style of Kutani ware.

This Yunomi with its stately design makes a perfect tea time with you.​
