Rare Early Vintage Geisha Girl Lithophane Cup & Saucer "Yamada Japan" Nipon Priced for 1 set
So detailed!! Geisha Girl shows on the inside of the cup, transparent and very thin China.
I have a total of 4 Cups & Saucers
Approx: Cup 4" round x 2" tall
weighing around 2.3 oz.
Saucer 5 1/2" round
weighing around 3 oz.
Each piece signed Yamada (the city) Japan and Nipon (Nippon is usually spelled Nippon.
A little History (Porcelain with a face of an oriental woman seemingly impressed in the bottom of what appears to be only their cups. The picture impressed in the porcelain is a "Lithophanes". This type of design was made in Japan between the late 1930's and into the late 1950's/early 1960's, mostly for export.)
That info controdicts the time line with exports(A general rule of thumb to follow for marked pieces of geisha girl porcelain is as follows: vessels marked “Nippon” dated between 1891 and 1921 and items marked “Japan” or “Made in Japan” post-date 1921 (Litts 1988:58). Vessels marked “Made in Occupied Japan”
I do have other Asian items listed if interested :)
