A good hand painted Nippon cup and saucer with "Wedgwood" decoration. Japan, late 19th century.
Saucer measures 5 5/8inches in diameter. Cup is 2inches high.
The ground is pale blue, very fine porcelain, glazed inside. Fine enough for light to shine through it. Hand painted / sculpted spriggs of flowers and butterflies, resemble Wedgwood jasperware, but shaded to show depth in a sculptural way. Dark brown borders to both pieces. Handle of cup has small applied 'spines'.
Bottom of saucer has a green mark with Mnt Fuji, HAND PAINTED and JAPAN.
Condition is very good. No chips/cracks. There is one tiny white spot on the saucer, but this is not damage (see photos).
