Porcelain tea cups with blue/green ("peppermint") glaze by Hanako Nakazato of Union, Maine and Karatsu, Japan. The zig zag ribbing of the cup and the blue-green glaze led Nakazato to call this a "giza giza (zig zag) peppermint" cup. H. 3.125"(8cm) x Dia. 3.125"(8cm.) Wonderfully balanced and easy to hold.
