Manufacturer: antique nippon japanese oriental cup saucer
A good hand painted Nippon cup and saucer with "Wedgwood" decoration. Japan, late 19th century.

The ground is pale blue, very fine porcelain, glazed inside. Fine enough for light to shine through it. Hand painted / sculpted spriggs of flowers and butterflies, resemble Wedgwood jasperware, but shaded to show depth in a sculptural way. Dark brown borders to both pieces. Handle of cup has small applied 'spines'.
Bottom of saucer has a green mark with Mnt Fuji, HAND PAINTED and JAPAN.
Condition is very good. No chips/cracks. There is one tiny white spot on the saucer, but this is not damage (see photos).
