Brian Wolfe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hello again, Here is a bowl and sake cup that came with the hoard from the weekend. There is no writing on this pair only a scene and the Nation Flag of Japan. The bowl is 4 3/4 inches in diameter and the sake cup is just under 4 inches in dia. The dealer thought these belonged to the tray but I doubt that very much due to condition if nothing else. Do you think this is from the WWII era or post war? I really like the scene. If the flag were of the rising sun I would say WWII era but what about the National Flag; I've seen the two together on war era cups, Thanks again for your help. In this photo the distortion is due only to the photography and the shape is actually perfect in "real" life. This is a photo of the bottom of the sake cup showing the scene and the National Flag of Japan in the centre. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fukuoka Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It is difficult to date these, but I suspect it is post-war. Not 100% sure, but the design work appears to be 1960s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
