Kutani Bizan Gosōka ochoko set

Five 50 ml sake cups make up this Kutani-yaki set from Kutani Bizan. Gosōka, or “five grass-flowers,” gives each cup its own design: iris, peony, camellia, gold bamboo, and aka-e plum and pine. Crackle-glazed and warm red-clay grounds vary across the set, so the five cups read as related pieces rather than repeats.

  • Set: Five ochoko sake cups
  • Studio: Kutani Bizan (九谷美山)
  • Ware: Kutani-yaki
  • Material: Ceramic; cup bodies and glazes vary within the set
  • Decoration: Hand-painted gosai five-colour overglaze with gold and aka-e details
  • Patterns: Iris, peony, camellia, gold bamboo, and plum with pine
  • Size: Each cup approximately 5.9 cm diameter × 4.1 cm high (2.3 × 1.6 in)
  • Capacity: Approximately 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) each
  • Packaging: Kiri wooden box
  • Origin: Japan

The small capacity suits sake service and tasting portions. The kiri box keeps the five different cups together for storage and presentation.

Care

Hand wash only with mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Do not use in a microwave or dishwasher. Avoid bleach, abrasives, and scrubbing over the painted and gold details. Individually painted cups may vary slightly in colour, brushwork, and glaze.

Care instructions

Hand-wash only — not microwave or dishwasher safe (gosai overglaze enamel + gold detailing can abrade).

Wipe gently and dry well; handle with care to protect the painted surface, rim, and gold.

Because each cup is individually hand-painted, slight differences in colour, brushwork, and glaze are normal and part of the set's character.
