Cup and Saucer

Maker - unknown

Made in Japan - ???

A note from Geoff on Monday 10th July 2006

This cup and saucer was given to Sharon earlier this year
A present from our next door neighbours, Nev and Heath

No reason - they gave it to her just because they wanted to!!!

Nev said he had picked it up at a garage/jumble sale "for a few dollars"
There are no makers' markings on either piece

He thought that the pattern was very unusual,
and that Sharon might like it to add to her collection of cups and saucers

Vintage Japanese Lustre Cutwork Cup and Saucer
This is a most attractive vintage Japanese lustre and cutwork cup and saucer
My father brought it back from Japan in either the late 1950's or early 1960's
It has that lovely pearl lustre and gilding with pink roses
It is in good condition with no chips or cracks
It does have some colour which looks to be missing in the flowers
but this occurred at the time of manufacture and does not detract from it
The saucer has a diameter of 15cm (6")
and the cup has a diameter of 10cm (4") and it stands 7cm (3")high
It would be a lovely piece to display in a cabinet!!

Both feature most beautiful pansies in purples, yellow and white
I am uncertain of age but suspect that they are from the 1950's or 1960's
They are marked 'Fine China Made in Japan' on the base
There are no chips or cracks
The saucer has a diameter of 16cm (6.25") and the cup stands 7.5cm (3") high
