Long Description
I don't have a camera to post a picture. There is a picture on the saucer along w/ "Great Smokie Mtns." and "The Loop" painted on it in shades of mostly blue. The scalloped edges of both cup and saucer are trimmed in gold and the saucer also has a 1/4" gold bordering design around it.
The cup has the same matching blue paint w/ matching gold border at the top and the inside has some sort of gold design. A thin gold line is at the base of the cup. The cup handle also has gold trim on one side of the handle.
Both matching pieces say "Made in Occupied Japan" on the bottom.
