Design
This elegant free cup combines the brilliance of genuine Kanazawa gold leaf with the rich decorative tradition of Shoza-style Kutani ware. The interior is finished with radiant gold leaf, while the exterior features intricate floral, bird, and seasonal motifs rendered in vibrant Kutani colors. The harmonious blend of detailed painting and luxurious gold creates a piece that is both functional and artistic.
Shoza Style
Shoza style is one of the most celebrated decorative styles of Kutani ware. Developed during the 19th century, it combines multiple Kutani painting techniques within a single piece, resulting in richly layered designs and exceptional visual depth. The elaborate decoration reflects the extraordinary skill of the artisan and the artistic heritage of Japanese porcelain.
Versatile and Elegant
Designed as a free cup, this piece can be used for a variety of purposes, including tea, sake, coffee, desserts, or ice cream. Its stackable design also makes it enjoyable to collect and display.
Gold Leaf
Kanazawa produces the vast majority of Japan's gold leaf and is internationally recognized for its exceptional craftsmanship. The genuine gold leaf applied inside this sake cup adds brilliance and luxury while reflecting light beautifully through the sake, transforming an ordinary drink into a memorable experience.
Kutani Ware
Kutani Ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic from Ishikawa Prefecture, renowned for its vibrant hand-painted colors and intricate decorative designs. With a history spanning more than 360 years, Kutani Ware reflects exceptional craftsmanship and timeless beauty. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, making it both a functional tableware item and a work of art.
