Arita Ware Bunzan Kiln Sometsuke Nishiki Two-Tone Peony Mug 280ml

Description:

Founded in 1953, this Arita porcelain kiln is located on a small hill overlooking a picturesque countryside. The factory houses Arita's only "トンネル窯" (tunnel kiln), a historic feature that has played a key role in the development of Arita porcelain. This kiln has produced long-selling items that have become a part of Arita's 400-year history, such as the "蛍手（ほたるで）" (firefly hand-painted design), "手捻り（てびねり）" (hand-formed pottery), and "プラチナ牡丹" (platinum peony) collections. With a commitment to passing down these techniques to the next generation, the kiln continues to create high-quality ceramics that elevate daily life with their distinct craftsmanship.

This peony flower mug features a delicate blend of Sometsuke Nishiki (染錦), where underglaze blue and overglaze colours merge to create a sense of "traditional Arita beauty". The finely painted underglaze patterns and the peony, capture the craftsmanship of the artisans with every stroke, from the depth of colour to the brushwork.

The charming mug has a flower-shaped rim, bringing a serene atmosphere of "indigo" combined with the vibrant beauty of the peonies. This is a piece where you can feel the charm of Arita ware to the fullest.
