Antique Sake Cups -

By presseau, 16 April, 2013
Description

I have a set of 6 sake cups, that are supposedly handed down from 5 generations. Hand painted, gold paint primarily on three of them and the other three have a gold paint ring around them. 

Difficult to identify a consistent mark on the bottom of the cups.

 

Any ideas?
