This was purchased by my grandfather at an antique shop in Aoyama, Tokyo. It has been kept in storage without being used. It retains its incredibly beautiful gold gilding. Demitasse cups are very popular as collectibles, and similar items were displayed at an exhibition at the Kyoto Station Museum. It seems it cost around 300,000 yen at the time. I hope you understand the storage conditions, and this is for someone who loves demitasse cups.
