Very Rare Antique Japanese Military 1912 Torpedo Academy Full Name Soldier Lacquer Sake Cups Set

$0.00 USD

This is a very rare set of Japanese military sake cups, decorated each with a naval insignia crossed with a pair of torpedoes, and on each of the cups are the words "Gift to Mr. Amakasu Seikichi. On the back are the words "(from the) Entire Staff of Instructors, Meiji 45h Year (1912) May Navy Torpedo Academy". The cups are a stacking set of three, plus the lacquer wood base stand. This is a very formal set of sake cups, used in Shinto ceremonies and the like and is the most formal way of presenting cups. It would've been a very expensive set at the time to buy such a thing. Under the stand the words are the same as those on each of the cups.

Condition: The cups are in mint condition. The stand has two places where it's cracked - one spot on the base leg, and one on the lower flat panel with the words. Please see photos

Size: 4", 4.5" and 5.25" across. The stand is 6.25" x 6.25" and about 5.5" tall
