Occupied Japan Tea Cup Maker's Mark Help!

Another item that I have been researching and although I have found figurines and other items with Paulux, I have not found this small tea cup & saucer. Or any other cup similar. It is the size of a espresso cup? I have found plenty of Occupied Japan. 1940's to 1952 (Post-WWII)

 

Thanks for the support Judy

 

Hi Cookie, I think you meant to type (Post-WWII).
At this time, there are 4 Paulux cups and saucers in this size range for sale on "the bay" with differing decals from yours.
It's a pretty little thing, but it seems to me that anything so relatively recently factory produced precludes it from falling into the rare category.

 

Thank you Sandra, good call on the typo...
Haven't finished my first cup of tea yet.
I will check that out on Bay... Thanks for listening

 

Is that "THE BAY" In Canada that you are referring? Thanks

 

No, I meant eBay, but wasn't sure we are allowed to cite that site.

 

You have what is called a demi cup and saucer.
The picture is a transfer type of a French artist whose name I can't think of at the moment.
Many companies used this type of art scene. It is not uncommon. The one on yours is not particularly high quality.

Retail value is not very high $5-12 depending on location and type of shop.

 

Thank you. I did see that the value is not there. I find it WHIMSICAL. Perhaps a great find for a little girls tea party!

 

Oh my Well I am on e--- looking for other options tho. I find e___ tedious and not very rewarding. Although I have been a member for a long time. It's a lot of work and little pay off.

 

Please always do this with all photos.

I thought I had the first time and the pics got duplicated. So I redid it again for us old eyed peeps

 

Part of it is that it's quite a PITA to look at small pics on a phone.
