Unfading dignity This is an elegantly painted tea cup made for Japanese cuisine. The sophisticated silhouette that spreads out from the bottom is wonderful. Orange and gold chrysanthemums are drawn on bluish white porcelain. This product was made around the 1990s, and due to technical issues, it is no longer possible to make it, so it was kept as a dead stock item. It has an attractive and classy appearance that has not changed over the years. Relaxing tea time Relax with warm tea along with the sweets you ordered. Conversations with family and friends will also be more fruitful. The small size makes it perfect for Sencha and Chinese tea, which you can enjoy over and over again. It can also be used as a small bowl for serving vinegared dishes and side dishes. Please feel free to use it and have fun.
