Identification of Mid Century Sake Cups needed

[Vanessa Reilly]

I'm trying to identify these 2 cups which may be Fosen Craft, Tosen Craft...Made in Japan. Mid Century by the design. Thought possibly they were designed by Ana Fosen. Cannot find anything, anywhere. Thanks in advance

Hi, Vanessa,

Welcome!  Judging by the style of the backstamp, I'm thinking these cups were a little bit later than mid-century, maybe even the 1970's.  They probably are by Ana Fosen, but I have no documentation to back that up.

Correct spelling is TOSEN Craft. Interesting article by young Canadian entrepreneur who started this company some 10 years ago. He collects MCM, Eames era, Modernist items world wide and resells them. He seems to specialize more in furniture than porcelain.  Only Japanese affiliate who makes porcelain (& plastic) ware is Kenji Fujita of Japan. Didn't see your design but good probability that his company made them. Here is link.  You might contact Tosen Craft for more info.
