Tea for two, painted in plum blossoms. This Kutani ware tea set pairs a 400 ml teapot with two yunomi cups — one wrapped in turquoise green (aoume, "green plum"), one in iron red (akaume, "red plum") — each blossom reserved in white and finished with delicate red line-work by hand. The set's Japanese name, Ikoi-zoroe (憩い揃), means "a set for relaxation."

In Japan the plum blossom is the first flower of the year, blooming while snow still falls — a quiet symbol of renewal and perseverance, rendered here in Kutani's confident overglaze brushwork.

• Made by a Kutani ware workshop in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, curated by ZenKiln

The two cup sizes make this a natural tea-for-two set — morning sencha, an afternoon pause, or evening tea shared. A ready-to-give set in its decorative box for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, and Father's Day. Explore more in our teapots & tea sets collection.

Shipping, duties & delivery

Ships from Japan.

Orders are typically dispatched within 1–3 business days after payment is confirmed.

Estimated delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs clearance, public holidays, and local carrier conditions.

Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, VAT, and import taxes that may apply in the destination country.

Packaging & gifting

Includes a decorative gift box.

Carefully packed for gifting and safe delivery from Japan.

Fragile items are additionally packed with protective wrapping and cushioning materials for international delivery.

Care instructions

Hand-wash recommended. To protect the hand-painted overglaze enamel, avoid microwave, dishwasher, and sudden temperature changes.

Because Kutani ware pieces may show slight differences in brushwork, glaze tone, and finish, each set may vary slightly — that individuality is part of its charm.
