Subject:Are these cups Chinese?
Posted By: Roger Sat, Sep 19, 2020 IP: 2601:281:c202:b68a:c

Hi All! I would greatly appreciate any information on these cups. I think they are Chinese but not sure. Also, would appreciate any thoughts on age. There are no markings on the base.
cheers!

I'd opine both to be Japanese. The one on the left has somewhat more of a Chinese look until you get to the cavetto medallion, which is the almost indelibly Japanese-style 'Three Friends of Winter' motif. The one at right is Japanese in both pattern and form.

Best regards,

Bill H.
