These charming mid-century Satsuma-style tea cups reflect the legacy of Japanese ceramic artistry adapted for Western markets, featuring lush peacock imagery and tactile enamel work over a finely crackled glaze. Such pieces were popular post-Meiji era exports, produced in large quantities but finished with detailed artistry.
Their motifs — peacocks, florals, and vibrant brushwork — evoke prosperity and beauty, making them especially desirable among collectors of Japanese tableware and those who appreciate intricate ceramic decoration.
