We usually stock English bone china. This Japanese teacup and saucer by Napco China could not be ignored. It is hand painted. The violets are fascinating. The workmanship on the saucer and around the top of the outside of the cup is lovely. This is porcelain, not bone china.
Irwin Garber and David Rein founded the National Potteries Corporation (Napco) in Bedford, Ohio, in 1938. Their company was one of the many Ohio-based pottery companies at that time. Napco started small, producing ceramics like vases and candy dishes. It changed course after the war, becoming predominantly an importer of Japanese ceramics.
Our price also includes free shipping within the US. We do ship worldwide, but there is an extra charge. This also comes with free shipping insurance.
Measurements: The saucer is 5.75" in diameter. The cup is 2.75" high and 3.5" from rim to rim.
This Japanese teacup and saucer is in excellent condition. We do not sell damaged items. You may buy with confidence. There are no cracks, chips or crazing.

We no longer sell to China or the Middle East. Although the people are lovely, we have had too many delivery problems.
We ship within the continental US for free. For other areas, the order is sent via First Class International Mail with the US Post Office or with Global Shipping, a company that works with Etsy.
Of course, we are happy to work with large orders. Contact us through messages and explain your needs.
Do not wash any of the china in the dishwasher. It may cause crazing if boiling water is poured directly into the cup. These are not made for microwave use either.
We do not know the exact materials used in the china. We are selling them as decorative items.
We offer free gift wrapping on most items. It is mentioned in the listing.
