Kutani ware Gold Leaf Yunomi Tea Cup / 九谷焼き 金箔 湯呑み
This cup has a unique shape and is wholly handmade by the artisan's hand. The thin body gives a very comfortable way to hold the cup in hand.
Gold leaf is a traditional crafting technique in Japan that involves the application of a thin layer of gold onto the surface of hand-wheeled cups. Once the gold leaf has been applied, the cup is fired in a kiln to set the gold and create a durable, long-lasting finish. The result is a stunning, golden mug with a rich, lustrous shine.
Kutani ware (九谷焼) is a traditional craft of Ishikawa prefecture(石川県) with a history of over 360 years. The beauty of nature, brilliant colour and fine calligraphy are the key features of this style of Japanese pottery.
