Known as “The Kiln of Gold,” Meizan has cultivated generations of artisans who specialize in the rare and refined art of applying gold, silver, and platinum leaf to porcelain—a technique passed down through a single lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cup is a unique expression of \u003cem\u003eKinpaku-sai\u003c\/em\u003e, a traditional method in which ultra-thin gold leaf is fired onto the ceramic surface, creating shimmering patterns that evoke both elegance and quiet strength. Because the gold leaf reacts differently with each firing, no two pieces are ever the same—each one tells its own story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marbled white and earthy tones of the base glaze are gently accented by radiant gold, offering a balance of rustic warmth and refined brilliance. Whether used for daily tea rituals or reserved for special occasions, these teacups elevate the moment with a sense of grace and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect as a meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, or milestone celebrations such as silver or golden wedding ceremonies, this set embodies the Japanese philosophy of beauty in imperfection and the richness of tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoying tea with these cups is more than a simple pleasure—it’s an invitation to slow down, reflect, and savor the artistry woven into everyday life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"391\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 392px; height: 340.75px;\"\u003e\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"202\" style=\"width: 202px;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"189\" style=\"width: 189px;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"48\" style=\"height: 110.375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"48\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 110.375px; width: 152pt;\"\u003eSize (diameter x height)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 110.375px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge: 74 x 82 mm\u003cbr\u003e(2.91 x 3.23 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: 70 x 76 mm\u003cbr\u003e(2.76 x 2.99 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 110.375px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 110.375px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eweight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 110.375px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge: approx. 160 g (approx. 5.64 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: approx. 140 g (approx. 4.94 oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 24px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003ematerial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 24px;\"\u003eporcelain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 24px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003emicrowave oven\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 24px;\"\u003eNot microwave-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 24px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003edishwasher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 24px;\"\u003eNot dishwasher-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 24px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003edirect flame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 24px;\"\u003eNot suitable for open flame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 24px; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eoven\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"189\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 142pt; height: 24px;\"\u003eNot oven-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"九谷焼 明山窯 (Meizan gama)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413632512070,"sku":null,"price":8250.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8850\/2342\/files\/IMG_3136.jpg?v=1767699644","url":"https:\/\/tokoro-bloom.com\/products\/kutani-ware-set-of-teacups-with-gold-leaf-accents","provider":"Tokoro Bloom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
