VINTAGE ORIENTAL COFFEE DUOS, HAND PAINTED SATSUMA MORIAGE DESIGN WITH GEISHA GIRL

VINTAGE PORCELAIN JAPANESE DUO'S

Vintage,1920 -1950s hand painted with moriage detail and heavily gilded, Japanese satsuma set of 4 coffee duo's with the lithophane Geisha at the base of the cup. The cups are paper thin porcelain, most of these porcelain cups are made in the Kutani region of Japan.Interesting fact.....the Geisha "photos" are created using a varying thickness of porcelain. Two of the cups and the 4 saucers have a clear ring tone, the other 2 cups have a dull "ping" I have looked at the cups very carefully with a magnifying glass and cannot see any damage ?? Height of cups 5cm, dia of saucers 10cm.
