Antique Japanese Porcelain Teacup & Saucer: Hand-Painted Violets Blue Trim (1920s-1940s)

Charming antique/vintage Japanese porcelain teacup and saucer featuring delicate hand-painted purple violets, soft green foliage, graceful stems, and a beautiful powder-blue border.

The floral decoration has a lovely watercolor quality, with natural variations in the individual flowers, leaves, stems, and blue accents characteristic of hand decoration. Purple violets with small yellow centers encircle the saucer and decorate the cup, while hand-applied blue detailing gives the set a particularly pretty cottage-garden appearance.

The saucer bears an unidentified turquoise Japanese maker/decorator mark on the underside. The matching cup is unmarked. Based on the porcelain, construction, decoration, and marking style, this set appears to be early-to-mid 20th-century Japanese porcelain, likely circa 1920s–1940s. The exact manufacturer has not been conclusively identified.

Condition:
- Good antique/vintage condition with age-related character.
- No obvious major chips or cracks are visible in the photographs. The hand-painted floral decoration remains attractive and colorful. There is expected variation and wear to portions of the painted blue edging and decoration.
- The porcelain also displays small glaze/firing irregularities, including occasional tiny pinholes or raised imperfections, consistent with the manufacturing process rather than later impact damage.
- Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description. This is an older hand-decorated piece and naturally displays the minor variations and imperfections that distinguish antique and vintage porcelain from modern factory-produced china.
