1871-75 Manzopan Gie Hirado Japanese Meiji Porcelain 6 Immortal Poets Tea Cup

Description

Antique hard to find 1871-75 Manzopan Gie Japanese Hirado Meiji Era porcelain the six (6) Immortal Poets tea cup.  Manzopan Gie was established in 1871 and only used this mark for 3 or 4 years before merging with another company.  The company was formed for the export of Hirado ware.  It measures approximately 2 1/2" tall with a 3 5/16" diameter mouth and is in great condition, with one very small chip out of the rim, which has an old repair done to it, that did not completely cover it.  You can see it in photo #6, above and to the right of the scene's window, at the rim.  As well as a hairline from the rim to part of the way through one of the scenes.  This can be seen in photos #6 and #7; however, it is hard to see in the photo and in person.  The light has to hit it at the right angles for it to pop out.  Neither of these take away from the overall exceptional beauty of this piece and the cup is structurally sound.
