Hand-Painted Arita-Yaki Yellow Rose Cup & Saucer Set

Hailing from Arita Town in Japan—the historic birthplace of Japanese porcelain with over 400 years of ceramic heritage—this cup and saucer set is crafted in the tradition of Arita-yaki, one of Japan’s most respected porcelain styles known for its refined glazing, durability, and long-standing role in global ceramic trade since the 17th century. It reflects the enduring legacy of Japanese craftsmanship, where functional tableware is elevated into refined everyday art.

Each set is carefully hand-painted by skilled artisans, featuring a warm sunny yellow glaze with subtle natural speckling that creates a soft, organic texture. Vivid red rose motifs are individually brushed across the faceted cup body and matching saucer, forming a gentle folk-inspired floral composition. Because each piece is hand-decorated, slight variations in brushwork make every set unique. The faceted silhouette adds visual depth, while the curved ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip for daily use.

The cup measures approximately 2.76 inches in rim diameter and 2.87 inches in height, with a capacity of around 5.7 oz—ideal for espresso, black coffee, green tea, or a small serving of afternoon tea. High-temperature firing creates a dense, durable porcelain body with a smooth, non-porous glaze that is easy to clean and helps retain beverage warmth for longer periods.

Presented as a complete cup and saucer set, it brings a calm, uplifting presence to everyday coffee or tea rituals. The warm color palette and romantic floral detailing allow it to blend seamlessly with both modern minimalist and vintage-style table settings, making it a thoughtful choice for personal enjoyment or gifting to tea and coffee lovers who appreciate authentic handcrafted porcelain.
