Old Japan Geisha Demitasse Cup and Saucer - 2 Sets Available
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.
