Post by RedMask »

Helo to all forum members!

And biggest cup have an artist signing, maybe someone can tell me something about it?

The maker is Muramatsu. Currently, I have no information on this maker, but I would guess that the cups are from the 1920s or 1930s.

When they were new, they would have come in a wooden box that might have included details about the maker and perhaps the date of their purchase or their presentation as a gift.

For the sake of clarity, the jungin mark means "pure silver," but is not, properly speaking, a hallmark.

Regards,

DR
