The pair of cups are imari porcelain tea or soba cups, most likely Japanese in origin, with handpainted design underglaze, could be late Edo-Meiji period. Seeing pic of bottom and inside could help more in dating.

Thank you for answering. I enclose further pictures of the cups and maybe they would be
helpful.

Thank you.

Yes, the cups do look to be older ones, there is a glaze bubble burst/imperfection there that is typically found on older Imari, so probably late-Edo period. The statue appears is ivory, looks to be one of the 7 Lucky Gods, possibly is Japanese and could be from early 1900's. The vase looks Chinese, possibly 1920's-30's, and could be a ginger jar that is missing it's lid. Maybe someone else can help with the marks on these, the statue mark is most likely the carver's and/or the carving business name on it. Hope this helps!

Thank you Susan. Of course it helps! Now I have some idea what these are. They have been around
the house so long that no one remembers where they come from.
Thank you for your time.
Branko
