Product Details

Beautiful vintage NICO Japan miniature cup and saucer set, both pieces clearly marked “NICO JAPAN” on the underside. This petite set has an unusual six-sided hexagonal shape with delicate hand-painted red and blue floral motifs, green leaves, decorative scrollwork, and metallic gold accents. The tiny cup features a flared geometric body, small feet, and an ornate gold-tone handle. The matching hexagonal saucer repeats the alternating floral design around the border. Because of the very small dimensions, I would describe this as a miniature or demitasse-style decorative cup and saucer, rather than a standard teacup. * Maker: NICO * Country: Japan * Era: Likely mid-20th century, approximately 1940s–1960s * Material: Porcelain * Decoration: Hand-painted floral design with gold accents * Cup: Approx. 1” H x 2” W x 1 1/2” * Saucer: Approx. 3 1/2” W x 1/2” H * Condition: Very nice vintage condition.
