This antique hand-painted porcelain Demitasse cup was made in the Satsuma region of Japan, likely between the 1900s and 1920s.
The cup is decorated with vibrant colors, intricate gold trim, and features intricate raised enamel work that is called \"moriage.\"
Moriage is a technique that involves building up layers of liquid clay (called a \"slip\") to create a distinct raised, three-dimensional and textured effect.
The ornate hand-painted design typically features \"Immortals\" or mythological figures.
The cup measures 1.125\"H x 3\"W x 2\"D and weighs .25 lbs.
It is in excellent condition.
