Description

 This may have been a wedding present to my parents (1959) or it may have belonged to my grandmother I am not sure. There are 3 additional saucers but only 1 cup and saucer. 

The painting on these is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Looks like some gold leaf but I do not have the expertise to be sure. The scene is 2 elaborately dressed geishas with an arched bridger and some buildings in the background. No  written symbol - just some Japanese characters in gold paint on an orange rectangle. The mark on the teacup seems to be different from tha mark on the saucer.  Some of the paint looks to be worn off of the saucer where the geisha on the left is holding her fan.
