This Japanese Kutani-yaki tea set includes one kyusu (teapot) and five yunomi (teacups), each glazed red on the exterior and crazed beige interiors. All instruments are painted with gold geometric designs, blue emblems, and green foliage among scenes of the villagers gathering.

Kutani-yaki (九谷焼) is a style of Japanese porcelain traditionally from Kutani, now a part of Kaga, Ishikawa, in the former Kaga Province, Japan. Porcelain wares made here became popular in the 17th century and after production in Kutani was revived in the 19th century, it is known for its intricate designs, called aka-e kinran-de (赤絵 金襴手) Kutani
