UCAGCO Occupied Japan Blue Floral Gold Tea Cup Saucer Vintage 1950
A striking vintage UCAGCO China tea cup and matching saucer, clearly marked “UCAGCO CHINA – MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN.” The Occupied Japan marking places manufacture within the postwar Allied occupation period, generally 1945–1952, making this an especially collectible piece of Japanese export porcelain.
This set features a beautiful powder-blue ground accented with white floral reserves, red and green blossoms, extensive gilt decoration, and gold geometric motifs. The cup has an elegant pedestal foot, gently scalloped rim, molded white exterior band, and an ornate partially gilded handle. The matching saucer repeats the blue, floral, and gold decoration for a coordinated presentation.
UCAGCO stands for United China and Glass Company, an American importer/distributor that handled numerous Japanese china patterns during the early 1950s.
