A beautiful VTG Kutani presentation set with striking shelf presence and meaningful iconography. ✨ Highlights • 🆔 Maker/Mark: Kutani-yaki (九谷焼) • 🧮 Date Range: Mid-century export era, commonly dated 1950s–1960s (year not marked) • 👛 Theme: Seven Lucky Gods (Shichifukujin / 七福神) full 7-piece set • 👠 Includes: Original wood box, interior lid calligraphy, English insert, packing material • 🔍 Lid Text: 九谷焼 七福神 寿 (Kutani Ware / Seven Lucky Gods / Longevity) 📦 Condition Notes All seven cups are present and stand upright and stable.
