Sparrow Teacup
Kutani Ware Sparrow Japanese Teacup
Sparrows are a much-loved motif in Japanese art, symbols of happiness, family and togetherness. On this Kutani ware teacup, they are painted with a delicate hand, bringing a quiet, natural charm to your daily tea.
Kutani ware has been made in Ishikawa Prefecture since 1655 and is known for its vivid overglaze enamels, applied by hand and fired on to the glaze. Its tall, slender shape is ideal for sencha, genmaicha or hojicha, and it pairs beautifully with our Kutani teapots. Give one as a gift, or two for a couple.
