Ryuan-gama Hasami Ware “Rabbit & Full Moon” – Elegant Cobalt Blue Cup & Saucer Set (2 pcs)
龍庵窯 Ryuan-gama(Hasami ware, Japan)
A refined set of two “Rabbit and Full Moon” cup and saucer ensembles crafted by Ryuan-gama, a kiln of Hasami ware in Nagasaki Prefecture. This elegant pair beautifully embodies the harmony between traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary design.
The deep cobalt blue ground is richly decorated with stylised white rabbits beneath a golden full moon, symbolising the poetic imagery of Tsukimi (moon viewing). Traditional karakusa (arabesque) motifs frame the rim, enhanced with subtle gilded accents that add a sophisticated brilliance highly appreciated in European interiors.
The composition is both playful and refined — a perfect balance of modern lifestyle sensibility and centuries-old ceramic heritage. The fine porcelain body, smooth glaze finish, and carefully painted details demonstrate the craftsmanship for which Hasami ware is renowned.
An ideal set for collectors of Japanese ceramics, lovers of moon-rabbit iconography, or those seeking a distinctive and elegant tea or coffee service.
