This charming porcelain cup and saucer set features a vibrant, hand-painted pastoral landscape typical of the Art Deco influence on mid-century Japanese export ware. The scene depicts stylized trees and a small cottage against rolling hills in a palette of warm orange, yellow, and green. The base of the cup bears the K.S. maker's mark within a wreath, accompanied by the Made in Occupied Japan stamp. This specific marking dates the production of this set to the post-WWII period between 1947 and 1952, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Occupied Japan memorabilia and vintage teaware.

Condition Report
The set is in good vintage condition. There are no major chips or structural cracks observed upon inspection. Fine surface wear is present on the saucer, and there is minor thinning of the gold gilt on the cup handle and rim, which is consistent with the age and manufacturing standards of the period. The hand-painted enamel remains bright and well-defined.
