Kutani-yaki Free Cup – A Masterpiece of Traditional Japanese Ceramics

This product is a masterpiece of Kutani-yaki ceramics, renowned for its elegance and especially its luxurious use of gold detailing. Each piece is hand-painted by skilled artisans, making every cup truly one of a kind with no two exactly alike.

The Free Cup is as versatile as its name suggests: on cold days, it can be used as a tea or infusion cup; on warm days, it becomes a glass for cold beverages; and after a long day, it transforms into a perfect vessel for enjoying beer as a personal treat. Its adaptable shape makes it suitable for use throughout the year, making it an ideal special cup for two people to share.

Recommended as a special gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or any meaningful occasion, this Kutani-yaki cup carries a rich history and tradition. As a handcrafted product, variations in color and shape are natural, adding to its uniqueness and charm.

The design is based on the Five Colors of Kutani (red, blue/green, yellow-purple, dark blue), a vibrant palette passed down through over 350 years of ceramic tradition. Kutani pieces add a lively and elegant touch to any everyday setting.

The Kutani-yaki tradition has been preserved across generations. In 1975, it was officially recognized as a National Traditional Craft, and in 1976 it was designated as an Intangible Cultural Asset by Ishikawa Prefecture.

Kutani-yaki is admired both in Japan and abroad for its unique colors and compositions. It reflects the luxurious and extravagant aesthetics of the Kaga Hyakumangoku culture, one of the most refined artistic traditions from the Ishikawa region.
