Posted By: Bill H Sun, Oct 11, 2020 I cant read the mark, but the rest looks Japanese, possibly Meiji (1868-1912). |

Posted By: Elena Sun, Oct 11, 2020 Thank you very much for your reply. Do you know what building is painted on the saucer? |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Oct 12, 2020 I've only traveled briefly in Japan, so have no particular skills at identifying architecture from porcelain paintings. But your cup and saucer set is identifiable as Japanese from the border treatment, which is something I've seen before. |

Posted By: Elena Tue, Oct 13, 2020 Very interesting. Thank you very match. Do you think that this cup and saucer were manufactured somewhere between 1881 and 1958? |

Posted By: Elena Tue, Oct 13, 2020 I tried to find some pictures of 1893 Chicago World's Colombian Expo.The palace on the saucer shows an arch with three griffons or similar. I did not see this arch on Chicago pictures. People walking on the square in front of the palace are walking randomly (not in or out of the arch - do not look like visitors of the exhibition). No guards in front of the arch. There are not match palaces with dome roof in Asia. Maybe it was manufactured for export in Europe and is showing some European building? However, the palace does not look very much European either. The male figure in the square which is wearing a hut is looking Asian or may be European. It looks like women on the picture are wearing paranja (veil, chador, yashmak). Maybe it is Indonesian, Malaysian, Turkish ... scene? What do you think? |

Posted By: Martin Michels Mon, Oct 12, 2020 I believe this a building on the 1880 World Fair in Melbourne: The Royal Exhibition Building, see picture. |

Posted By: Elena Tue, Oct 13, 2020 Martin, thank you. As to the building, I look at the arch with three griffons or similar and the height of the central dome and it does not really match the 1880 World Fair in Melbourne: The Royal Exhibition Building. |
