CERTAINLY THE FIRST OF THEIR KIND THAT I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED, THIS IS A VINTAGE SET OF FINE PORCELAIN JAPANESE SAKE CUPS EACH WITH A UNIQUE HOLLOW BASE CONTAINING A SMALL NATURAL HOLE. CRAFTED ONTO THE SIDE OF EACH CUP IS A HOLLOW TUBE WHICH RESEMBLES A HANDLE AND THIS TUBE JOINS WITH THE HOLLOW BASE. THE RESULT OF THIS SHAPE IS THAT IF THE HOT SAKE IS SIPPED SO THAT THE FLUID FLOWS OVER THE HOLE WITH A SUCKING ACTION IT RESULT IN A BIRDLIKE CHIRPING (WHISTLING) SOUND. IT IS ALSO BELIEVED THAT THE WHISTLING SOUND COULD BE CREATED WHEN REQUIRED TO SUMMON A WAITER

EACH OF THESE SAKE CUPS IS CRAFTED FROM FINE PORCELAIN AND DECORATED WITH A SNOW WHITE INTERIOR AND RUST RED OUTER SURFACE WITH PROMINENT GOLD PATTERNS
