****The picture shows many that I have. This listing is for 1 only. ****

Gently used.

Mild wear. No chips. Due to the nature of hand painted items there are some minor differences in paint applications.

The bottom of each cup is stamped.

When a cup is held to the light, the rice eye can be seen.

The technique of placing a grain of rice in the bisque before firing was used to create beautiful patterns that appeared to glow in light.
