I believe that these are Japanese sake cups with saucers. The rims around the cups have a meander decor and the bodies have perched bird and butterfly amidst foliage. The cups are approx. 1.32 in., fitted saucers have a diameter of 2.62 in.
I found a similar pair that were Japanese sake cups but the mark was stamped 950. Does anyone recognize the marks?
