A refined ceremonial piece from late Meiji–Taishō Japan
This rare Japanese trophy cup is an exquisite example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Made in pure silver and stamped 純銀 (Jun-Gin) the traditional mark confirming its solid silver purity, it carries the quiet authority and refined elegance associated with late Meiji (1868–1912) and Taishō (1912–1926) artistry.
The cup features:
A beautifully balanced twin-handled bowl, with fluid, elongated handles characteristic of Japanese design from this era.
A sculpted black lacquered stem, offering a striking contrast against the mirror-bright silver.
A tiered silver foot, finely marked on the underside with original Japanese hallmarks.
Originally used for ceremonial recognition or private awards, this piece was created not simply as a trophy but as a symbol of honour, refinement, and personal achievement. Its proportions, weight, and craftsmanship make it a standout display object, equally suited to a curated shelf, a study, or a contemporary interior that values pieces with soul and history.
A rare find, combining Japanese purity standards, elegant proportions, and a timeless aesthetic.
