Hand-Painted Japanese Cup and Saucer Set With Purple Floral Motif, Marked "Hand Painted Japan" Circa

Charming hand-painted cup and saucer set from Japan, dating to the mid-20th century. Each piece is decorated with bold purple flowers accented by verdant green leaves and demure orange touches, executed in a freehand style unique to traditional Japanese export ceramics. The cup and its matching saucer both carry the mark “Hand Painted Japan” on their bases, a hallmark associated with postwar export wares produced for Western markets. The cup has an approximate diameter of 4.75 inches, while the saucer measures about 6.5 inches across, as shown by the included images with measuring tape. The set’s robust ceramic body, vibrant floral motifs, and contrasting green rims evoke classic mid-century Japanese design. Evidence of age-appropriate wear is visible, including minor scuffs on the base, but the painted surfaces remain bright and appealing. This collectible set represents the highly decorative tableware Japan produced and exported during this era.
