This teacup features a red goldfish swimming among colorful flowers. In Japan, goldfish are often associated with prosperity and good fortune, making this design even more charming and auspicious. The teacup is painted in the layered overglaze style that gives Kutani ware its characteristic depth. Take a closer look, and you can see the subtle raised texture created by layers of overglaze pigments.

Shaped on a potter's wheel, this teacup has a gentle warmth and a comfortable feel in the hand. While great for tea or coffee, it can also be used for soups, yogurt, ice cream, and many other dishes.

It is available in a variety of charming motifs, including a dove, cat, turtle, dragon, elephant, pig, and rabbit.
