Type I:2015 Produced in southern Ishikawa Prefecture (Kanazawa City, Komatsu City, Kaga City, Nomi City), Kutani ware is a representative Japanese colored porcelain characterized by its gorgeous, vibrant overglaze painting. It is a popular traditional craft with a history dating back to the Edo period and a history of over 360 years.
Its greatest appeal lies in the five colors of Kutani (red, yellow, green, purple, and indigo), known as the "Kutani Gosai," which are used for painting. The durable and beautiful tableware is highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad.
This Kutani ware sake cup features Alfa Romeo's historical emblem.
It faithfully reproduces the characteristics of each era, from the original logo from the company's founding in 1910, to the pre- and post-war design changes, and even the current emblem.
We recommend this cup for a truly special drink while reflecting on Alfa Romeo's more than 100-year history.
