The items are hand-painted and accented with gold enamel detailing over iron-red borders. The assortment includes four unique decorative themes: a Kutani style featuring a geisha framed by a pine tree landscape; a tall pavilion scene cup accented by large butterflies on the saucer; a geometric tri-panel configuration that segments the landscape into three white viewing windows; and an open-composition garden scene showcasing geishas alongside large chrysanthemums.
