Named Ship Cups, page 7
Lacquered wood named ship cup set. This also includes the matching two-piece
stand, which is fairly rare.
The cups and stand have the owner's family crest in gold gilt. I'm not sure, but it
appears to be a variant of the zingiber (myoga in Japanese).
The cups are inscribed 'In Celebration of Aizawa's Discharge, from all of the
Electrical Unit of the Warship Kurama'.
The bottom of the stand has the same inscription and also has a date:
'Taisho 2 [1913] May.'
Here is the Wikipedia article on the Kurama: KURAMA.
