The inside of this item is covered with gold leaf and arabesque and a plant called Japanese rhodea are drawn on the outside. The shape of the cup is also unusual, hexagonal.
The hexagon represents the shell of a turtle and is considered auspicious.

The arabesque pattern represents the intertwining of vines and it is often used as a kind of auspicious pattern by linking the vitality of vines to development. Japanese rhodea is a plant often used in Kutani ware, and is a symbol of prosperity and good luck for descendants because it always keeps green and leaves.
This product is covered with gold leaf, which gives it a luxurious feel and makes it a part of the interior design just by displaying it.
There may be differences in colors and patterns, because it is hand-painted.
