This Japanese sake cup is dated just below the rim on the outside as coming from November of Taisho 3 (1914). On the inside it says that it was awarded as a prize in the Tokyo Taisho Exhibition that was held in that year in Tokyo's Ueno Park. T is a name on the bottom, which may be the maker or the prize winner, but we are only able to make out the first character, "Matsu". The pine tree on the side of the cup is glazed into it, while all the lettering is hand-painted on top of the glaze.

T are no cracks, chips, or any other damage that we can detect, and t is only a little wear on the second character of the red "Kinen" ("Commemoration") in the center. Otherwise, this cup in in very good condition.

Measures W2 3/4" (70mm) X H1 3/8" (36mm).

General Note about Shipping:

For all our items, we set the shipping according to the fastest and most economical method. Generally, we set it as Air Mail if the shipping charge will be around fifteen dollars or less, and as SAL (economy airmail) if it would be over fifteen dollars via regular airmail. Nonetheless, we are always happy to change shipping methods if faster (and thus more expensive) or cheaper (and thus slower) shipping is desired. The shipping options available are (from fastest and most expensive to slowest and least expensive): EMS, Air Mail, SAL (economy airmail), Surface.

We ship at least once and very often twice a week, and so most of the time items will be in the mail within no more than 7 days after we have received payment. We also always send a brief note informing buyers when their items have shipped.
