Handmade and hand-painted Kiyomizuyaki porcelain tableware set.
Grape vines, with their abundant clusters of fruit, have long been seen as a symbol of good fortune. This design beautifully balances the texture of the surface with the gentle, flowing brushwork of the painting.
The vines and leaves are delicately painted, allowing the white space to enhance their graceful form. While grape clusters typically hang downward, some in this design appear to lift upward, an unusual and auspicious detail said to bring extra good luck.
This beautifully crafted, elegant set adds a touch of luxury to any meal.
Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery looks back on 400 years of history and is now a symbol of Kyoto. To serve the desire of Aristocrats, tea masters, and culinary specialists of the era, Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery has incorporated design and artistry not only from Japan but also from China and the Korean Peninsula. Even up to now exquisite artistry and excellent craftsmanship are core qualities of Kyo ware: each piece is modeled and decorated carefully by hand.
