What is NORTA?
NORTA = NORD (North) + PORTA (Door)
The word was coined from the Italian words NORD (North) and PORTA (Door). We hope that NORTA items will be the first door you knock on when you get to know Ishikawa (=North), and that you will be inspired to learn about the wonderful artists, companies, and lands of Ishikawa Prefecture.

Here, we would like to introduce some vintage ”Kutani” pieces since we feel they are beautiful from NORTA's own point of view. We hope that those who resonate with the beauty of these pieces from their own aesthetic sense will consider purchasing them.
* Please note that we do not provide professional appraisals for vintage items, unless otherwise specified.
! Please! Please understand that this is a vintage item and there may be stains from age, color grazing, small chips, black spots from firing, roughness on the bottom, etc., that do not affect the vessel.

Vintage Japanese tea cup candle
Kutani Vintage teacup Candle
6 products
NORTA also offers candles made from vintage Kutani teacups.
Each of the items noted "a candle finish" can also be purchased as candles.
Why not light a candle in a vintage vessel and think about the craftsman who made the vessel and the period in which it was made?
After the candles are finished, they can be used as objets d'art, accessory cases, and so on.
(If used as a candle, we do not recommend using it for food or drinks.)
Want to use it as a candle again?
How about using the massage oil candle refill (selling separately)? The candle wick is also included in the set so you can make your own.
