Regular price $0

This is an antique Japanese military sake cup, decorated with a pair of rifles on top of a cherry blossom background. The words are "Taisho 7th Year (1918) Special Marksmanship Award". The special award is, from what I understand, the top grade awarded, followed by 1st class and 2nd class. The base of the cup has the cup maker's name Soda. 

Condition: Mint - very minor fading around the rim

Size: 3.75 across
