    Description

    An unusual example of Japanese carving.
    The cup is carved with a precise classic geometric design.
    It has a bit of a primitive feel
    I have been unable to find another example that is similar.
    I believe it is quite old but I have been unable to date them with any certainty.
    Belonged to a WWII vet who served in the 101 Screaming Eagles and attended specialist school in Japan after the war.
    There were several pieces in his collection listed separately.
