Kutani Ware Kawaii Cup - Silly Cat Design | おとぼけ猫

Bring joy to your table with the Kutani Ware Free Cup - Silly Cat Design, a whimsical piece handcrafted by Higashi Takako, an artist known for her playful and heartwarming pottery.

Higashi Takako studied traditional Kutani ware dyeing and painting techniques and has since developed a unique style that blends classic craftsmanship with humour and originality. Her pottery often features hand-painted illustrations or messages, turning each piece into an artwork that conveys warmth and personality.

The Silly Cat Cup captures this spirit perfectly, with its charming hand-drawn cat face that feels both fun and expressive. The gentle glaze and hand-painted details make each cup a one-of-a-kind creation.

This piece is a Japanese “free cup” (フリーカップ), meaning it is designed for versatile, everyday use. It can be used as a tea or coffee cup, a sake vessel, or even for small desserts and snacks. Its adaptable nature makes it not only practical but also a delightful addition to any collection of Japanese tableware.

Beyond its functionality, the Silly Cat Free Cup is a piece of art that brings personality to your daily rituals and makes a thoughtful gift for cat lovers, collectors, or anyone who appreciates pottery with charm and character.
