Send your friends a link to this page

This dainty vintage porcelain demitasse cup with matching saucer is marked on the bottom with gold Japanese characters in a red rectangle. Both the cup and saucer have a scalloped edge. Take a look at the beautiful ornate scenes of the two geisha girls. The beautiful flowers are hand painted with raised pink enamel dots on the petals and yellow raised dots at the center of the flowers. This process is called moriage. The rich hand painted colors and gold foil accents throughout the cups and saucers are stunning. The porcelain is translucent when held up to the light. The lady I bought them from said they were from the early 1900s and had been purchased in Japan.

The demitasse cup opening is 2" across and 2" tall. The saucer measures 4-1/4" in across and stands 3/4" high from the base.

This is a very old set in excellent condition - there are no chips, cracks, repairs, or crazing. There is very little, if any, wear to the painted surfaces.
