Japanese porcelain cup and saucer

About the Item

This exquisite Japanese porcelain cup and saucer set showcases vibrant polychrome decoration, blending rich red, black, and gold tones. The centerpiece of the design features a coiled snake or dragon motif, surrounded by swirling clouds and golden friezes that add a luxurious touch. The saucer is highly detailed, with the mythological creature dynamically depicted in motion, reflecting traditional Japanese artistic influences. The cup interior remains simple and clean, offering contrast to the elaborate exterior. A delicate handle completes the cup’s refined form, making it both functional and decorative. Perfect for collectors or lovers of fine Asian porcelain, this set exemplifies the harmony between craftsmanship and storytelling found in Japanese ceramics, embodying cultural symbolism and elegance.
