Description: Occupied Japan small tea cup and saucer set. This listing includes three cups plus their matching saucers. The set is white and a teal green color with gold accents in a peacock feather pattern. Japan's period of occupation was 1945 - 1952, making these little cups at least 72 years old! These cups are soooo beautiful. My photos don't do their color or details any justice! They would be lovely on display in someone's kitchen or dining room, or just sitting on a side table in a living room or bedroom. Dimensions: The cups are just under 2.5" tall and just over 2.5" across the rim. The saucers have a diameter of 4.75". Condition: No chips or repaired areas. There are several areas of surface crazing, and two cups have fractures/fine cracks that go through the cups. See last few photos, dead center, for examples. There are also some specks, indentions, bumps, rough areas, etc. in the finish, here and there -- basically manufacturing flaws (all pretty common for the time period). Given the aging issues mentioned above, I do not recommend trying to use these cups for serving hot tea or coffee. Heat would likely further damage them pretty quickly. Display them only, if you want them to last. This set would be a nice gift to a person of Japanese heritage or a collector of Occupied Japan items -- or just someone who appreciates beautiful very vintage things!
