Boxer Rebellion cup?
Inscribed 'Stationed in China, Peking Infantry, Commemorative, Dozono'.
The word for China here (shinkoku) dates in to the 19th century, so this is
probably from a unit that helped suppress the Boxers.

Inscribed 'Victorious Return Commemorative, North China Incident Dispatch Army, Infantry 21st Regiment.' This regiment was from Hiroshima. |
| Inscribed '[Meiji] 33 [1900] North China, Victorious Return Commemorative, Infantry 42nd Regiment.' And a poem |
| Lacquered wood cup with a map of China and Manchuria, beautifully drawn. Near the top edge you can see the Great Wall of China. Peking is marked with a double square within which is a dot; Tianjin is marked by a single square and dot. Other cities are marked with a square. Since Tianjin and Peking were so closely involved in the Boxer Rebellion, this looks to be a cup from that incident. In addition, the port city of Taku is shown, and the rail from this city was used to get to Tianjin. Inscribed in the base: 'Tianjin Infantry Battalion, 3rd Company.' Around the reverse rim it says 'North China Garrison Commemorative.' |
