This is a pair of elegant 九谷焼 (Kutani-yaki) 湯呑 (yunomi, tea cups) with lids, finely crafted and decorated in traditional Japanese porcelain artistry. Each cup features hand-painted origami crane (orizuru) motifs in vibrant of red, green, blue, and gold, symbolizing longevity, peace, and good fortune. The lids are topped with small knobs with gold—for a refined touch, helping to keep the tea warm while adding to their aesthetic charm.
The base of each cup is bordered with a delicate geometric band in soft tones, balancing the vivid crane designs. Housed in a simple wooden box, this set reflects both functionality and artistry, making it perfect for daily tea enjoyment or as a cherished gift.
Kutani-yaki is renowned for its vivid overglaze painting and refined craftsmanship, and this pair exemplifies that tradition with a contemporary nod to the Japanese art of origami.
