Butterflies

Clay Japanese vintage cup with butterfly motifs and fine colored accents. The light decoration gives the cup a playful quality, with small details appearing as the vessel is turned.

Its familiar size makes it easy to use for a daily cup of tea, while the airy motif brings a softer, more decorative note to the table. It feels collected rather than precious.

Made in Japan. 

Estimated period: 1960s

Condition: vintage item; small signs of age may be present
