Their work crosses the line between functional tableware and small-scale folk-craft sculpture: hand-thrown shapes with character details, hand-painted decoration with iron-line drawing and lively color, and small mascot motifs that turn ordinary objects into companions. This cup-and-saucer set is part of their hand-painted floral series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup's interior shows a yellow daisy-form flower paired with a white companion bloom with delicate pink-blushed petal edges, set against a cream-glaze ground with a small white chibi-creature mascot looking on. The mascot — a round white silhouette with red-dot eyes and small upright \"ears\" — is in the spirit of the Japanese folk-motif \u003cem\u003eyuki-usagi\u003c\/em\u003e (雪兎 \/ \"snow rabbit\"), though Maitōkan does not name the species directly. The cup's exterior is finished in a coral-pink speckled glaze with hand-glazed drip texture, and the saucer mirrors the interior motif on a cream-buff ground, framed by a warm-brown iron-line rim wash. Iron-line outlines throughout give the painting its characteristic Seto-yaki creative-pottery handwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe form — tripod cup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup sits on three small tripod feet (\u003cem\u003e三脚\u003c\/em\u003e \/ sankyaku) — a less-common stance for Western-influenced creative-pottery cups, which gives the piece a light, lifted silhouette on the saucer. The cup has a handle and a slightly irregular wavy rim, both finished by hand. At Ø 11.6 × 11.0 × H 5.3 cm and 250 ml capacity, the cup is sized for coffee, tea, herbal infusions, or matcha-latte — comfortable for a generous single pour with one or two sugar cubes' worth of headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the body — earthenware (陶器)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is supplier-stated \u003cstrong\u003e陶器 (tōki \/ earthenware)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Seto-yaki body class for this Maitōkan line — \u003cstrong\u003edistinct from porcelain (磁器 \/ jiki)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
