Today a parcel with lacquer sake cups arrived, unfortunately it looked like most of them had been stored in the chicken house for most of the time!
So for once it was nice to stand next to the sink and do the dishes! :-)

A mix of cups from different conflicts some antique and other more recent.


The dishes!

Nice! Did correct box come with set of SNLF cups? Any markings on lid?

Unfortunately no writing on the box, only the manufacturer sticker on the bottom of the box. So i cant say if the box is correct. Maybe the sticker can give some info about were it was purchased?

Looks like the box could be original to the cups.
