Moriage-decorated porcelain with an elaborate Oriental landscape scene — a rarer variation within the famed "Geisha Girl" export line, made by one of Japan's most elusive export marks.
Maker: Takito Co.
Materials: Porcelain with moriage (raised slip) decoration
Origin: Japan
Era: Antique, 1921–1941
Dimensions: Standard demitasse size, 2–3 oz
Condition: Very good — some wear on the gold rims; one tiny manufacturing flaw on the saucer, photographed. No chips, cracks, or scratches. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
This antique cup and saucer goes beyond the typical Geisha Girl pattern: rather than kimonos and umbrellas, the scene is an elaborate Oriental landscape — mountains, trees, a river, and a tiny figure crossing a bridge on a donkey. Raised moriage decoration adds sculptural texture throughout, and the backstamp on the saucer reads "Hand Painted, Made in Japan" with the Takito logo.
A genuine rarity for Nipponware and Geisha Girl collectors, and a meaningful gift for anyone who appreciates a scene that rewards a slow look.
The Takito mark is among the most elusive in Japanese export porcelain, produced by a company that operated from 1880 until 1948.
