The story behind these beautiful hand-painted porcelain tea cups began well over a hundred years ago. Starting in 1891, Japanese potters began fashioning tea cups with elaborate hand-painted designs with the word 'Nippon' stamped on their bases, an English word mirroring the pronunciation of the Japanese word for Japan.

In 1933, seven-year-old Kitty was gifted three of these tea cups by a doctor's wife who was on her grandpa's milk route. Now, years later, these same tea cups were gifted to Women At Risk, International for the purpose of creating a stunning, one-of-a-kind quality candle. With your purchase of this item, not only do you gain a beautiful piece of history, but you also support the lives of at-risk women within the local community—affirming their dignity and inspiring hope as they courageously endeavor to rewrite the stories of their lives.
