This teacup features a beautiful cherry blossom design blooming on a black background, exuding an elegant presence. The teacup's refined, glossy black color and the cherry blossom painting, accented with gold, are very gorgeous. It is a piece that will look great not only as a Japanese tableware but also for display. It has been carefully stored in a wooden box, so it is in good condition overall. With its moderate size, it is recommended for everyday use, entertaining guests, or serving Japanese sweets. It also blends well with Japanese-style room interiors and can be used as a prop for photography. This is a one-of-a-kind item, so we will sell it to the person who likes it. - The box does not have a lid. - The artist's mark is on the bottom (please check the photos). - Immediate purchase is OK. - We will carefully pack and ship it. This is a tea utensil that my grandmother used in her tea ceremony lessons, as she taught the Urasenke school of tea ceremony. Although we have not had a professional appraisal, it is an item with a storage box, box inscription, and potter's mark. Please consider this item as a used item.
