    Description

    Beautiful little cups range in diameter from 2-1/8" to 2-3/16". They feature a biplane with an anchor underneath, Japanese flag and text, artillery and text about retirement and "gun field" (apologies for the likely very poor translation!), and a floral and star theme to decorate a cup about loyalty, courage, etc. for the Japanese armed forces. There are some condition issues: one has a chip to the rim, another has a crack, and one has a tiny chip on the very bottom rim of the cup. Overall, a really cool trio of cups!
