The most beautiful feature of this Fleur De Lis teacup is its hand-painted lily design, with white and deep magenta blooms glowing against the glossy black porcelain.
It is marked “Made in Occupied Japan,” a mark used on many Japanese export goods during the Allied occupation after WWII, from 1945 to 1952.
Because this marking belongs to such a short historical period, genuine Occupied Japan pieces are especially collectible today.
The gold-trimmed handle, rim and floral detailing give the set an unusually rich, almost jewel-like appearance.
A beautiful piece of post-war Japanese craftsmanship, combining vivid hand painting with a very specific moment in history.
