Japan // Armed Forces / Farewell and victory sake
Sub-collection: JapanJapan // Armed Forces / Farewell and victory sake cup
Between 1894-1945 sake cups were commissioned by naval troops, pilots, tank crews, supply crews, infantrymen, cavalrymen, telegraph and railroad engineers with an innumerable variation of colors and designs. They helped recall the traditions and romance of the Samurai warriors; each cup is a mini time capsule with the owners name and regiments inscribed and were used by soldiers and sailors to drink a victory toast, or farewell toast.
Large cups like this are unusual.
From the Louise Veninga Collection.
