{"product_id":"kutani-ware-japanese-mug-hanazume","title":"Kutani Ware Japanese Mug — Hanazume Gold Floral","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eKutani ware\u003c\/strong\u003e mug in the traditional \u003cem\u003ehanazume\u003c\/em\u003e style — flowers packed edge to edge across the entire surface, each one outlined and separated in raised gold. Chrysanthemum, plum and peony crowd together with no ground left visible, which is the point of the technique and the reason it takes so long to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in two colourways:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e — the warm palette Kutani is best known for. Amber and gold ground with deep red, plum and coral flowers, and a raised white chrysanthemum at the centre of each side. The showier of the two, and the one that reads as a gift on sight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreen\u003c\/strong\u003e — jade, teal and soft violet over gold. Quieter than the red and gold, and easier to sit alongside plain ceramics and timber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth share the same form: a gently flared rim finished with a fine gold line, with the handle and interior left white so the pattern stays the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, where Kutani porcelain has been produced since the 1600s. The kiln mark is stamped in red on the base. Individually boxed and ready to give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only. Not suitable for microwave or dishwasher — the gold decoration will be damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach piece is finished by hand, so small variations in colour, pattern and surface are normal. Pinholes, fine glaze crazing and occasional dark iron specks are characteristic of the material, not faults.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kutani Ware","offers":[{"title":"Gold","offer_id":49287259390052,"sku":"ho-14","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":49287259422820,"sku":"ho-15","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/5224\/7140\/files\/KutaniWareJapaneseMug_HanazumeGoldFloral_Gold_Image1.png?v=1789728591","url":"https:\/\/kireihomeware.com.au\/products\/kutani-ware-japanese-mug-hanazume","provider":"Kirei Homeware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
