You are bidding on a nice Japanese military sake cup with a crossed-flag design and an eagle (or is it the three-legged mythical bird, Yagatarasu?). The cup commemorates the Sino-Japanese war of 1895-96. Its exterior is decorated with the words "10th Infantry Regiment", and the base ring has "December, Meiji 28th year", which dates this cup to 1895, more than a century ago! The cup is in mint condition with virtually no fading to the paint and no chips or cracks. It's fairly large at almost 3.75" in diameter. I am shipping from the United States in the middle of Ohio. International bidders welcomed. If you're within the US, I will ship by priority mail unless requested otherwise, and international orders will go out via first class mail if possible. I accept paypal and money orders. I will be very happy to combine shipping whenever possible. Shipping is the same for one to five cups, and from six to ten cups, so on, so forth. Let me know if you are planning on bidding on future items so that I can send you a consolidated invoice once it's done. I have other similar items listed (and more coming), so please check out my other auctions! Thanks for looking
