Kutani Ware - Mug "Kingfisher Shower"

🌸 The Pinnacle of Japanese Painted Porcelain A Symbol of Luxurious Ceramics - Kutani Ware 🎁 Originating from Ishikawa Prefecture (Kaga, Kanazawa, Komatsu, Nomi cities) in Japan, Kutani ware is one of the nation's three great kilns. With a history of nearly 400 years, its superior quality and unique character come from being entirely hand-painted and fired. Kutani ware, possessing a distinct aesthetic cultivated over centuries, showcases the beauty of nature, landscapes, and human artistry in every piece. Its astonishingly innovative geometric patterns and delicate brushwork are like artistic creations, exhibiting a unique beauty that is both captivating to appreciate and valuable for collecting, making it an ideal gift choice. 🌿 "Kutani Hakuga" Showcases Delicate Craftsmanship and a Fresh Style "Hakuga" refers to the use of white glaze for simple yet elegant decoration, highlighting a refined beauty. This technique embodies a graceful style in ceramics. This piece, along with another vase in our collection, depicts a riparian kingfisher amidst foliage. Against an earthy base, touches of white brushstrokes are applied, upon which lifelike, richly layered branches, leaves, and the kingfisher are meticulously rendered. This minimalist elegance is imbued with a touch of Zen tranquility. ※ Comes with a gift box ※ Dimensions: Diameter 9cm x Height 8.7cm ※ As all pieces are handmade by artisans, minor imperfections such as occasional firing black spots, small indentations, uneven coloration, or tiny air bubbles are normal and not considered defects.
