About the difference between Premium model and High-end model  and Standard model

Premium and High-end have been made since 2016, which was year of 400th anniversary of Arita Porcelain. Standard model  has been made much longer time - it is traditionally made in Arita.

Premium and High-end model are made based on art of the cups made in Edo period. Art(Paint) on the cups are the same as Edo period (1600s-1800s).

Premium and High-end is a bit bigger than standard. Delicate line decoration and Kanji character painted inside. There are numbering (of the pattern) on backside of the cup. The box is black color gift box.

Material is all the same. The main difference is the complexity and luxury of the painting.

Premium model is the most luxurious, with more lines and paints, and requires more delicate work, taking more time. It cannot be volume-produced because of the detailed work required to draw the lines evenly and balance them.

High-end model also required more time than standard. It is good balance of warm and elegant painting with blank beauty.

Standard model traditional cups that are warm and simple with casual elegance.
