Violets on porcelain so fine it's nearly translucent — purple flowers with bright green leaves scattered across the cup, clustered on one side of the saucer and echoed gently on the other, all framed by a swirled embossed border and gold rims.

  • Maker: HB (unattributed mark, red diamond)
  • Materials: Fine translucent porcelain
  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Vintage, 1950s–1960s
  • Dimensions: Saucer 5.5" diameter; cup 3.5" diameter × 2.25" tall, foot 1.75" diameter
  • Condition: Excellent vintage — no cracks, chips, or scratches. Gold in very good condition. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

A lovely piece for a violet lover, a teacup collector, or a gift for someone who appreciates the beauty in small, intentional things. Wonderful for Mother's Day, a birthday, or a housewarming.

It is a delicate, considered piece that rewards the kind of attention a morning cup invites. The backstamp reads "HB" within a red diamond — a mark we have researched but have not been able to attribute with certainty, which is part of what makes this piece interesting. It is mid-century Japanese export porcelain at its finest: the quality is unmistakably high, the maker quietly anonymous.
