The story and details

The story: Roosters were a favourite subject of Edo-period painters — proud, comic, and full of colour against an empty ground. Here the snow is left almost bare, so the red combs and the dark, glossy tail feathers do all the work.

Details: Glossy black ceramic · 11 oz or 15 oz · the picture printed on both sides with the artist’s name beneath · dishwasher-safe (top rack) and microwave-safe · lead- and BPA-free.
