A set of five large sake cups (Ōsakazuki) from the Meiji era, bearing the mark of Katsu Chū. These are exquisite, handcrafted items featuring a lustrous vermilion lacquer base, with the Seven Lucky Gods meticulously painted in gold on each cup. The wooden box is marked "Katsu Chū," indicating that these are high-quality lacquerware pieces made by a master craftsman of the time. The set consists of five nested cups, with the following sizes: Large: Approximately 23cm / Second: Approximately 21.5cm / Medium: Approximately 19.6cm / Small: Approximately 18cm / Tiny: Approximately 16.3cm There is some chipping on the edges, but the overall condition is good. The incredibly delicate brushwork makes these cups suitable for display or as celebratory sake cups. Comes with a wooden box. A rare Katsu Chū creation from the Meiji era!
