Japanese Tea Cup/Saucer
$45.00 USD
The cup and saucer set is a piece of Kutani ware, a style of hand-painted Japanese eggshell porcelain. These are specifically demitasse cups and saucers, designed for espresso or strong coffee and are often referred to as “Geisha Girl” ware.
Key Features
• Design: The set features traditional Japanese landscape scenes with figures, likely geishas, pagodas, and natural elements like trees and water. The highly intricate design is hand-painted
Coloration: It utilizes a multi-color palette with a heavy use of red-orange and green, accented by significant gold detailing on the rims, handles, and borders.
Origin & Era: The style is characteristic of the Meiji to early Taisho period (circa 1890-1920) of Japanese export porcelain. Many similar vintage pieces were made in Occupied Japan (1945- 1952) for export.
