About the Maker:

Kutani ware (九谷焼) is a traditional form of Japanese porcelain originating in the 17th century in Ishikawa Prefecture. Known for its bold overglaze enamels and vibrant colors, Kutani porcelain became a popular export in the late 19th and 20th centuries, often blending Japanese artistry with designs inspired by Chinese motifs.
