handpainted mural kyusu origin: kutani, japan | era: early shōwa period (c. 1930s–40s) | material: white porcelain with enamel mural and gold accents
anning (安宁), meaning ”peaceful and serene,“ embodies calm and wisdom. she is a striking kyusu teapot crafted in kutani, a region long celebrated for its opulent ceramic traditions. its form is delicate, but the surface bursts with handpainted floral murals and cobalt lattice patterns — framed by soft gold gilding that glows subtly in the light. each brushstroke was applied by hand.
sourced in kanazawa, anning embodies ceremony and elegance — ideal for display, or a deeply intentional steep.
