Set of 5 antique Kutani-yaki sake cups/choko. All pieces are hand-painted with overglaze and feature extensive gold accents, making them very tasteful works of art. The period is estimated to be from the Meiji to Taisho eras, and the designs depict auspicious motifs symbolizing good fortune, such as pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, cranes, and Jurōjin (the god of longevity). Each cup displays a different style and color scheme. The set includes various "Kutani" marks and kiln seals, allowing you to appreciate the individuality of the workshops and artisans of the time. While there is some gold flaking, small chips on the rims, and age-related wear, the condition is generally good considering the age. These cups are recommended for display and collection, as well as for use as props in photography or to enhance the atmosphere of a drinking session. 【Size (approximate, common)】 Diameter: Approximately 6.5-7.5 cm / Height: Approximately 3.5-4.0 cm 【Condition】 ・Overall signs of aging (scratches, small chips, gold flaking) ・No major cracks or chips (※Some very small chips on the rims) ・Firing irregularities and kiln marks characteristic of antique ceramics 【Other】 ・Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection, as these are antique items. ・We will carefully pack and ship the items to prevent breakage. #KutaniYaki #AntiqueCeramics #SakeCups #Guinomi #OldKutani #GoldAccents #GoodLuckCharm #JapaneseAntiques #JapaneseCeramics #MeijiTaisho #SakeVessels #AntiqueArt
