<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 9518508, member: 8363&quot;]I picked this tiny footed cup up and immediately saw it was fine porcelain.&nbsp; I tried to photograph its translucency but failed, but it is almost see-through like glass.&nbsp; The rest is a guess based on my research.&nbsp; </p><ol> <li>I am almost certain that this is a Kutani Mark on the bottom, though blurred.</li> <li>At first, I thought it was an egg cup, but it would have to be a quail&#039;s egg to fit into the 1 1/8-inch diameter opening.&nbsp; So, I searched Saki and found ones with similar dimensions at 2 inches tall.</li> <li>Poem cup.&nbsp; The Worthpoint piece had similar script and dots between the lines, so I am guessing my cup has a poem. <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-kutani-sake-cup-three-127491493" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-kutani-sake-cup-three-127491493" rel="nofollow">Antique Kutani Sake Cup Three Different Noh Poems Motif | #127491493 (worthpoint.com)</a><br /> </li> <li>It is hand painted and the script is skillfully done, so I am thinking older at least.&nbsp; Older poem cups that I saw had the script on the inside, so I&#039;m not sure how old. </li> <li>Theater.&nbsp; I believe the painting is of a mask.&nbsp; </li> </ol><p>This is all I got.&nbsp; Is anything I say right?&nbsp; Oh, it was $3, so if I&#039;m wrong no great loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]451678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]451687[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
