Hirota Glass is the oldest glass maker in Tokyo, founded in 1899. Still producing handcrafted glassware based on traditional designs handed down over generations.
This tea cup is from their Taisho Roman - Milky Glass series, recreating designs and techniques from the Taisho Era (1912-1926). In Japan the word Roman, is not referring to people from Rome, its meaning is closer to Romantic. So this style is essentially Taishō Romanticism.
This pattern is called Ichimatsu (Checkerboard).
Comes in a nice card box covered in Taisho era Hirota glass catalogue etchings.
Measures 6cm tall x 7.2cm wide -- holds 120ml
