    Bought 4 of these Japanese Imari high footed porcelain sake cups. All hand decorated. All stand 1 5/8" tall and measure 2 1/4" across the top. Can anyone tell me how old they might be?

    Tagsale, thanks for all this info. In picture 5, those are not lithopanes, you are seeing the flowers on the other side. The foot is dry and unglazed. All cups are unmarked.

    This all sounds AI generated. Apparently FlipWorth is an app, not a person. We have been invaded.

    I'm surprised it took so long.

    I wondered how things got written so fast, AND asked for a mark when clearly there are none as pictures show.

    And some of it is total gibberish.
    Or elaborates on so-called facts unrelated to the item.

    Maybe the future'll be more like 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' than '2001' !
