This is a work by the third generation of Kutani ware artist, Katsuhiko Toide of Kanazawa. It is a sake cup featuring the Chinese zodiac sign of the snake (Mi), with a spiral pattern on the bottom that resembles a snake. The inside is blue, and the outside has an exquisite gradation from blue to brown, both with beautiful colors. ※ Although it is new and unused, please understand that it has been stored at home by a non-professional. ※ Regarding image 5: There appear to be fine scratches around the snake on the bottom, but these are believed to have occurred during the production process. I would like to do business with someone who is not concerned about this.
