Sparrow Teacup

Sale price$55.00

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.

This cup is really beautiful

This cup is really beautiful. The cup is smooth to the touch and the colours are really bright. The hand painted sparrows are so bright against the colour of the cup as well. Most importantly it is a joy to drink from. I use this in my tea drinking ceremonies so it is essential the cup is beautiful and this one really fits the bill.
