Asian Wooden Cup

By jojee1, 29 January, 2013
Description

> I have an Oriental wooden cup about 4.5 inches tall. It is a light brown
> wood with a single handle about .5 inches thick. The cup has a geisha
> looking at what appears to be a scroll with writing. She is standing next to
> a strange looking rectangular box with red symbols and what looks like a
> crutch in the middle of it (it looks like it might be some kind of dressing
> room divider that is folded up). There is also some writting running
> vertically next to the rectangular box about .5 inches in length (it might
> be the artist). Next to the vertical writing is a seperate room. In the room
> there is a small blossom tree in a rectangular plant holder on top of a
> rectangular red carpet. The entire cup is covered in gloss finishing. It
> does have a few cracks on the sides. I have researched online and can not
> find one similar to it.

However, I do believe the artist may be Kitagawa Utamaro based off some of his other work I have been looking at.

 

Can anyone give me anymore detailed information as to what this is and its potential value?
