The set comprises:

Having taken the last sip, and looking at the bottom of the mug in the light, you will find a portrait of a certain Japanese young lady with a traditional hairstyle. An image of a geisha adorns the bottom of the cup, like a watermark on a banknote. In its normal state, the pattern is not visible, you can only feel its slight relief with your fingers.
Lithophany, at the bottom of the cups the face of a geisha is visible, whose appearance served as a kind of mark of the manufactory, or rather a number of factories in the same area.
Kutani (Japanese: 九谷焼) is a type of Japanese porcelain that was made in the city of Kaga, modern-day Ishikawa Prefecture.The production standard corresponds to the criteria laid down and developed at Arita. Even today, most Kutani porcelain is hand painted. The face is created thanks to 2-5 layers of porcelain mass.
