Arita Porcelain Genemon Kiln Blue & White Octopus Arabesque Gyokuro Tea Set - Vintage
An Arita porcelain tea set by Genemon Kiln, defined by the blue-and-white “Octopus Arabesque” motif. The pattern moves in a continuous, rhythmic line across each piece—precise, balanced, quietly expressive.
The set includes a teapot, water cooler, tea cups, and saucers, for gyokuro tea preparation. Each element supports a slower pace of tea.
Genemon Kiln is based in Arita, Japan, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain since the 17th century. The kiln carries a long tradition of sometsuke—underglaze cobalt painting—known for its clarity and control. The Octopus Arabesque (Takokarakusa) is a traditional motif in Japanese ceramics, characterized by continuous, flowing lines. Crafted for daily use, the set is functional and durable.
Cups also work well for sake.
The red tray is not included.
Crafted in Japan.
