Kutani Shumei Sake set Mid 20th Century Thousand Flowers Lithophane Geisha cups
This is an amazing Kutani Shumei Sake set from the Mid 20th Century in the Thousand Flowers pattern. There are Lithophane Geishas in the bottom of the 6 cups when held to the light(see photos)! The sake bottle has a bird that whistles when the sake is poured and it is all hand painted in green and gold on white porcelain body. Out of an Estate years ago in California. I have other pieces in this pattern listed separately so please check them out. I use standard industry quality descriptions for vintage and antique items but if you have questions please just ask.

Most of my items come out of estates on Martha's Vineyard and some from other places in New England. The island of Martha's Vineyard where I have lived for the past 18 years is home to many old original families of sea captains and sailors so fascinating things come up when there are estate sales.

Please check my other listings. Please check my other new listings over the next couple of days. I take very detailed photos and give good descriptions. Please see all pics and enlarge to see details.
