This is a Dainippon Kutani tea cup (coffee cup).

It is believed to have been made during the Meiji period (1874-1887, when the government was putting a lot of effort into exports) (particularly around 1874-1887, when Kutani exports were very popular. It is stamped with Kutani on the back.Also, it is said to be Seikado-zukuri, but it is not certain because there is no back stamp.

Fans and folding fans are depicted in the orange-red color typical of Kutani. The fan part has a gold dot pattern drawn on it in a uniform style, and you can feel the unevenness when you touch it.

Although it is an old tea cup, the design is very modern and cute. Since it is small, I think you can use it as a demitasse.

Please also take a look at the matching sugar pot and milk pitcher.

About Brass Products ; Brass is a metal mainly composed of copper and zinc.

For daily care, use a neutral detergent after use to remove dirt, and then wipe off the moisture completely. We do not recommend using the dishwasher. This metal, like nickel silver, has the property of discoloring over time as it reacts with ingredients in the air and ingredients in food. If you are concerned about discoloration, you can polish it with Scotch Bright, or rub it with citric acid, vinegar, or lemon juice, and then do your usual care. Also, do not leave it soaked in acidic substances such as ketchup or sauce for a long time, or leave it in contact with food. It is not as strong as stainless steel, so please handle it with care.

A massage oil candle containing natural soy wax and almond oil. We asked Mr. Yabuya, who produces Kutani ware, to create an original for NORTA.
It is a very cute vessel with a gorgeous Kutani porcelain pattern and a beckoning cat that invites good luck.

It is a very elaborate piece that is entirely hand-painted using a technique called mori, which is one of the traditional techniques of Kutani ware. It is a work that requires not only the artist's skill but also perseverance to finish each piece.

Feel the scent while watching the candles lit, and after spending a healing time, massage using melted oil. The perfect item for total relaxation. Since it is worn on the body, it was developed and manufactured with the cooperation of Matsukawa Chemical Co., Ltd., which specializes in cosmetics manufacturing. (It spreads very well with a small amount, so please use a small amount at first and adjust the amount accordingly.)

After the candle is over, it can be used as an object, a small container, or a flower pot. You can also make your own candles again by using refills (sold separately). I hope you will enjoy the various ideas.

This product comes in a wooden box, making it ideal for gifts.

There are three types of scents available: cherry blossom, yuzu, and fragrance-free.

Candle ingredients: shea butter, almond oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, beeswax, fragrance

Ceramic artist Kayoko Tambo created a dinner plate for NORTA that will make your food look gorgeous.

The Hanashinogi Utsuwa series uses glaze in the center to express the axis of the flower, and uses the ancient "Shinogi technique" to carve out the surroundings using a self-made wheel plane. It is made with the motif of the plant that hangs.

For the glaze, a crystalline glaze that uses minerals such as titanium and zinc oxide is used, and when the kiln cools down, the minerals mixed in the glaze crystallize, creating a unique expression that appears as a floret-like pattern. increase.

In addition, there are cereal balls of different sizes, salad balls, salad plates, etc. It's nice to stack each and coordinate the table.

Because they are all handmade, there are differences in the finish one by one, and no two are exactly the same, so please look forward to the delivery. Please enjoy only one item in your own world.

It is an image that plants have grown in the house. The appearance of making something that has been firmly shaped from the roots is very bold and pure, and the contrast with the white Japanese paper is outstanding.
