AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
This lot comprises seventeen Japanese porcelain sake cups (guinomi/choko), assembled as a decorative collection spanning a variety of styles and decorative techniques. The group includes cups in the Kutani tradition alongside pieces with blue-and-white (sometsuke) landscape and floral motifs, Imari-influenced palettes of iron-red and gilt, cups with gilded interiors, and examples with a celadon-toned crackle glaze. Several cups bear painted characters or inscriptions to the interior or underside, while others feature bird, flower, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and figural designs typical of traditional Japanese tableware.

The cups vary in form, from tapered bell shapes to rounded bowls on raised or waisted feet, and in palette, ranging from cobalt blue and white to warm red, green, and gold enamels. No maker's marks have been definitively attributed, and the exact production period of each piece is not established; the collection is offered as a visually cohesive grouping of vintage Japanese drinking vessels rather than as a matched service.

No wooden storage box (kiribako) accompanies this lot.

Condition
