Brand New, Unused ★ Extremely Rare ★ This is a cup and saucer set from the Gustave era of Palm maison store, the predecessor to the Boris雑貨店 brand by artist Yuko Higuchi. It features the Octo Cats design and is made of Kutani-yaki porcelain. It is brand new, unused, and unopened. I have opened it slightly for photography, but I have not touched the main body, so the pattern is from a stock image. This is an extremely rare item, as it is no longer in production and is sold out. It was difficult to obtain even at the time, with purchase limits and immediate sell-outs. The pattern is different from the currently released items!! This makes it an even more rare item. I haven't been able to use it much, and I've kept it carefully stored in its box in my closet, so it's in beautiful condition. I'm hesitant to sell it... However, to raise funds for TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts for over 20 cats, all discounts will be excluded. Thank you for your support. It is a traditional Kutani-yaki ware (Ishikawa Prefecture). The colored areas are produced using the mori-enogu technique, a characteristic of Kutani-yaki, resulting in a textured finish. Country of origin: Japan, Ishikawa Prefecture Material: Porcelain *Please note that each piece is handmade, so there may be individual differences such as color unevenness. ●Size Cup: Diameter approx. 8.5cm, Height 6.5cm Saucer: Diameter approx. 15cm ●Comes in a plain white box *There is a dent in the corner of the box from when it arrived.
