Know before you buy
Yes, these cups are crafted from durable, high-quality porcelain designed to withstand regular use while maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
To preserve the intricate hand-painted details and gold accents, we recommend hand-washing these cups with mild soap and a soft cloth rather than using a dishwasher.
The cups feature traditional shimmering gold detailing characteristic of authentic Imari ware, applied by skilled artisans to replicate the opulent aesthetic of historical Japanese porcelain.
Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted designs and the metallic gold accents, these cups are not suitable for microwave use.
Because each piece is individually handcrafted by artisans in Arita, Japan, you may notice subtle variations in the brushwork and patterns, which makes every cup a unique work of art.
These cups are designed in the traditional Japanese style, which typically favors smaller, intimate portions perfect for savoring high-quality loose-leaf teas.
