This is a set of two cups and saucers (pair) made by Okura Art China to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Heisei era. The company's motto is "The best of the best." Their high-quality products are said to be comparable to those of Sèvres in France and Meissen in Germany, and they have established themselves as a purveyor to the Imperial Household. In 2008, in anticipation of the Emperor's 20th anniversary of his reign in 2009, 500 sets were produced with the wish for peace and further prosperity in the Heisei era. Most of them were distributed to related parties, so the number that went on the market was small, making them a rare item. The translucent white porcelain unique to Okura is decorated with the chrysanthemum crest, the emblem of the Imperial Family, using gold etching. And on the lapis lazuli and maroon grounds of the cups and saucers, the white birch, the emblem of Empress Michiko, is depicted using platinum. Okura Art China put its prestige on the line and poured its heart and soul into this masterpiece, and I believe it is an item filled with elegance and dignity. The delicate shape and the etched (gold etching) chrysanthemum and white birch patterns are a gorgeous masterpiece. Approximate size: Cup: 8.2 cm in diameter, 7.4 cm in height Saucer: 13.4 cm in diameter, 2.5 cm in height Purchased at the time for about 110,000 yen. When I bought it, I just looked at the beautiful item (lol) and it is completely unused and has been stored in its original box. I will conduct this transaction with integrity, so thank you very much.
