Mino-ware Black Cat Teaware Set
At a glance
- Made in
- Gifu, Japan
This is a Mino-ware tea set with a teapot and two cups, decorated with a seated black cat.
The listing notes that in Japanese culture black cats are kept as symbols of protection and good fortune, guardians against misfortune rather than the ill omen of Western saying. The design shows the cat sitting quietly while the tea brews.
The pot holds four hundred and eighty ml and the set is made in Gifu using traditional techniques. It comes in box packaging.
The listing says the dishwasher and microwave are fine, but recommends hand washing to keep the glaze and detail in good order over the years.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
