Hanazume Japanese Tea Set

Make every tea moment special with this luxurious tea set, beautifully decorated in the traditional hanazume style of Kutani ware. Meaning “filled with flowers,” this technique covers the surface with intricately painted blossoms outlined in fine gold, creating a rich and ornamental appearance. Touches of blue on the handle and lid provide a refreshing contrast to the warm tones, giving the design a balanced, modern charm.

The set includes a teapot with a capacity of 360 ml (12 fl oz) and two yunomi teacups. A stainless steel strainer allows for smooth brewing and easy cleaning.

Kutani ware is a traditional Japanese porcelain from the Kaga region in Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. Known for its vibrant overglaze enamel designs and use of five signature colors, known as Kutani gosai—navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow pigments. This timeless craft has continuously evolved through generations of artisans who balance innovation with a deep respect for tradition. 

Kutani ware exhibits a diverse range of distinctive styles, shaped by evolving artistic tastes over the centuries. Styles such as ko-Kutani, with its bold colors, geometric patterns, and painterly detail, and akae-saibyo, marked by ultra-fine red lines. Many pieces feature traditional Japanese motifs, such as kacho (flowers and birds) and sansui (landscapes), offering a timeless glimpse into the beauty of nature and the seasons.
