{"product_id":"kutani-ware-japanese-teacup-pair-hanazume","title":"Kutani Ware Japanese Teacup Pair — Hanazume Gold Floral Yunomi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA matched pair of \u003cstrong\u003eKutani ware\u003c\/strong\u003e teacups 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\u003eThe two cups are deliberately different sizes. This is the Japanese \u003cem\u003emeoto\u003c\/em\u003e pairing — a larger cup and a smaller one, traditionally given together for weddings, anniversaries and new homes. Each is individually boxed, so the pair also splits into two gifts if you'd rather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, the home of Kutani porcelain for over 350 years. The kiln mark is stamped in red on the base.\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":"Default Title","offer_id":49287261421668,"sku":"ho-51","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/5224\/7140\/files\/KutaniWareJapaneseTeacupPair_HanazumeGoldFloralYunomi_Image1.png?v=1789730841","url":"https:\/\/kireihomeware.com.au\/products\/kutani-ware-japanese-teacup-pair-hanazume","provider":"Kirei Homeware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
