Overview

A beautifully diverse set of six Kutani-ware yunomi teacups, each hand-decorated with a unique overglaze enamel motif drawn from the celebrated Kutani gosai (five-color) tradition. Produced in Ishikawa Prefecture during the mid-to-late Showa period (c. 1950s-1980s) and presented in its original fitted wooden display box, this set is a compact showcase of classical Japanese ceramic artistry. It was almost certainly created as a presentation or commemorative gift, and it remains a complete and cohesive ensemble ideal for display or collector use.
