Paul, they're apparently Japanese, in view of the transfer "flow blue" arabesque (karakusa) motif. It may be that they aren't cups but cup stands (hai dai) that originally came with a set of tea wares. Perhaps others can help sort this out, as well as the date of manufacture, which I'd guess as post-Occupation (after 1954).
Regards,
Bill H.
