Size: Large Teacup: Diameter 7cm x Height 8cm, Small Teacup: Diameter 6.7cm x Height 7.9cm [Gift Box Specifications: Comes in a special presentation box] Introduction to the Kutani Ware Technique: Ginsai: A sublime color beyond description. This design features a transparent or five-colored glaze applied over silver foil. Its subdued brilliance, gentle shine, and glass-like texture are characteristic. While its dazzling appearance requires an extra firing in the kiln, this is actually a highly intricate technique. (Note: It's not actually silver foil. Thinner silver foil would melt, so this extravagant technique requires the foil to be approximately seven times thicker than silver foil.) Kutani ware is one of Japan's three major overglaze porcelain styles and is highly regarded worldwide as a representative traditional craft of Japan, "Japan Kutani." Made in Japan (Ishikawa Prefecture), made from ceramics (Kutani ware). Perfect for gifts such as weddings, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, retirements, and 60th birthdays!
