Thank you for viewing. This is a pair of lidded teacups by the master craftsman Gakuyo Sumida, featuring genuine gold enamel Kutani ware. The outside of the teacups and lids are adorned with a gorgeous and opulent depiction of the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets, painted with a meticulous touch by the master craftsman Gakuyo Sumida, using genuine gold. Furthermore, the inside of the teacups features the waka poems of the Thirty-Six Immortal Poets, written in unbelievably exquisite fine script by Seizan Oda. This is a rare pair of lidded Kutani ware teacups. There is a signature of Kutani Gakuyo. Approximate dimensions are: diameter 70mm, height 95mm, and diameter 65mm, height 93mm. The lid diameters are 83mm and 75mm respectively. Although it is a new, unused item and has been carefully stored, there are some scratches and discoloration due to long-term storage. There is no original box. Please check the photos and consider this item as a used product. I hope that those who like it will find it useful. Thank you. #KutaniWare #GakuyoSumida #Pottery #Ceramics #GenuineGoldEnamel #ThirtySixImmortalPoets #ThirtySixImmortalPoetsPainting #OneHundredPoets #PairOfTeacups #Lidded #Teacup #SeizanOda #FineScript m313/m325
