Kaga Kutani 加賀九谷 Cup - Likely Showa (1926-1989)

Kaga Kutani - 加賀九谷 Likely produced in the Showa period. I had found two of these cups at a second-hand store, and the golden dots and birds really captivated me. So, I bought them and scanned one in the KIRI engine photogrammetry phone app. I went to research what kind of cup this was, and found that this has a pattern used on Kutani porcelain called "1000 cranes." Based on the manufacturer's mark collection from Lita Xú Líng Kelley [here](http://litaxulingkelley.blogspot.com/p/japanese-porcelain-marks.html), it matches the Kaga Kutani (加賀九谷) manufacturer marking, of which it was likely produced in Kaga Han (Kanazawa). I will post a breakdown of my process on ArtStation, the link is [here](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VJqROR)!
