1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics - 1972

This is an official commemorative sake cup set issued for the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics, the first Winter Olympics held in Asia.

The set includes two cups—a gold-plated and a silver rhodium-plated example—each featuring an embossed Olympic rings emblem and the inscription “SAPPORO 72.” Crafted from a special alloy, these cups were produced as official memorabilia to celebrate this historic international sporting event.

The set comes with its original wooden presentation box, engraved with event-related markings, along with the original Japanese instruction card. These original accessories enhance its authenticity and collector value.

Due to age, the gold cup shows visible tarnishing and patina, while the silver cup remains in relatively better condition. Minor scratches and wear are present, consistent with vintage Showa-era items.

A rare and appealing collectible, ideal for Olympic memorabilia collectors and enthusiasts of vintage Japanese commemorative objects.
