Old Imari Sake Cup Handpainted Exotic Landscapes

Description

Substantial old Imari sake cup, 2 ½” tall, flared a little to 3 ¼” across the top, with a slightly scalloped rim and loose, colorful handpainted graphics. (I love the fish showering in a waterfall). There is a geometric band inside the lip, and at the bottom of the inside, a floral medallion. Coarse base; unsigned; excellent condition. Just a little gold has worn from the rim; no chips, cracks, crazing, stains, or loss of graphics.
I always ship the business day after I receive payment.
An item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage.
Buyer pays actual postage; there is no handling fee. Priority postage rates increased about 4% on January 24.
I always pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping.
Postcards and paper items are packed in poly sleeves with corrugated cardboard and sent in a padded mailer, for which USPS charges First Class parcel rate. This is new: First Class postage now varies with distance.
There is now very little difference between the rates for Priority and Retail Ground; it’s less than 10%. Since Priority Mail includes insurance up to .00, I have decided to send everything over 14 oz. by Priority. The exceptions are oversized boxes (Retail Ground) and books (Media Mail).
I will contact the winner immediately after the auction (unless you have already paid) and again when I ship the item, to let you know it’s on the way.
Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print.
