Cup and saucer Made in Nagoya
Since the founding of Japan in the Meiji period, requests to manufacture cups and saucers have been sent to ceramics production areas all over the country on the occasion of exhibitions at world expositions held overseas. At that time, the custom of enjoying coffee or tea was not common in Japan, but each production area went through repeated trial and error, and used excellent molding techniques and precise painting techniques to create cups and saucers that fascinated people from overseas. Above all, excellent painters from all over the country gathered in Nagoya, which was the center of Japanese ceramics production from the late Meiji period to the early Showa period, applied a wide variety of paints to substrates made in Seto and Mino, and exported them to Western countries.
Nagoya, which does not have traditional pottery production areas such as Arita or Kyoto, has flexibly incorporated overseas techniques and paints, etc., and created stunning cups and saucers by making full use of a unique painting technique called “Nagoya painting.”
