Kutani-yaki Eizan kiln, gold-painted, color-painted landscape tea set, consisting of a teapot and a set of 5 lidded teacups. The items are unused. ◎ Although unused and stored for a long time, this is a Showa retro tea set from the Showa 30s-40s (1955-1975), and it has fine cracks (kannyu). ◎ Waka poems are written in fine brushstrokes on the inside of the teacups. ◎ As you can see in the 17th photo, there are brown stains. These are spots that occur during the firing of the pottery, and are caused by the oxidation of iron contained in the clay and glaze. This is a unique phenomenon of pottery, and in many cases, it is not a defect but is enjoyed as a "scenery." ◎ Teapot size: 8cm diameter, 13cm from spout to back, 16cm from handle to side, 10cm height. ◎ Lidded teacup size: 8.5cm diameter, 7.5cm height including lid.
