A very beautiful old Noritake cup for export to England! It is a small and cute demitasse cup. There are several colors in the Harlequin (colorful matching) series, and they are also on sale at the same time! We recommend displaying them together♪ The elegant body, vibrant colors, and gold trim inside make this a very gorgeous and stylish item. The backstamp is the "Maruki mark". The Maruki mark was created by changing the square part of the kanji for "trouble" (困) to a circle (〇) to symbolize the wish to overcome difficulties smoothly, so it is considered auspicious. Harlequin means "clown" in French and refers to a set of items that combine various colors. Size: Approximately Cup diameter 6.5cm x Height 5.5cm, Saucer diameter 12.2cm As this is a very old item, please understand that there may be some minor scratches and imperfections, which are part of its character and not due to being a modern, new item. Overall, it is in miraculously clean condition, so you can use it with pleasure. Old Noritake is said to be free of cracks and deterioration because the clay is exceptionally good. Although you can find similar hand-painted antiques in overseas products such as those from Germany, the clay is completely different. These delicate, handmade items require both skill and effort, and you will not find them in today's world, which is overflowing with goods. We recommend that you inquire and consider purchasing as soon as possible. We hope to deliver it to someone who will cherish it. We also have other rare vintage and antique items for sale. #en's antiques
