Antique Japanese Covered Soup Cup & Saucer
This porcelain covered soup cup and saucer was produced in Japan around 1890. We believe that the porcelain came from Yokohama and was then painted in Kutani. Kutani was an area in the Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan. There is a signature in Japanese on the bottom. The saucer is 5 1/2 inches in diameter. The cup, with lid, is 3 inches tall with a diameter of 3 1/8 inches. The porcelain is egg shell thin. A most delightful feature of the cup is the butterfly handles on each side. They are hand painted and accented with raised enamel beads. The center of the saucer has a large pink peony. It is enameled so that you can feel the texture. The bottom of the cup has peony petals so that it completes the flower when sitting on the saucer. There is extremely delicate, wistful painting of flowers and trees with two blue birds in flight. This is the joining of art and functionality in its highest form. The item “Antique Japanese Covered Soup Cup & Saucer” is in sale since Tuesday, August 31, 2021.
