This cute cup features a happy elephant and flowers. The elephant is a symbol in Japan of wisdom that brings lasting power and success. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened. 

The shape is crafted with a potter's wheel and you can feel the warmth and comfort of holding it in your hand. Not only drinking tea or coffee, it is also perfect for use in soups, yogurt, ice cream and many other dishes.

This cup is available in several patterns such as dove, cat, turtle, dragon, pig, goldfish and rabbit.
