Stunning vintage Taiei Japan porcelain teacup and saucer set featuring a delicate bird and floral design with rich burgundy banding and elegant gold scroll trim.

What makes this cup extra special is the hidden lithophane-style image visible inside the cup when held to light-a fascinating "ghost portrait" effect that appears through the porcelain under bright lighting (see photos). A unique conversation piece for collectors and tea lovers!
