Very Rare Set of 5 Antique Japanese Helmet Shaped Five Virtues Military Sake Cup with Box

This is a very rare set of 5 antique Japanese army sake cup for the five virtues of a soldier. The five virtues are Loyalty, Bravery, Frugality, Politeness, and Righteousness. The cups here are well decorated on the inside with one virtue each and a ring of chrysanthemums. The exterior of the cups are each in a rare star based helmet shape cup. It’s not common to find a complete set of five in mint condition, and less so for them to be of this type with a helmet shape.

Condition: Mint. The box is a bit damaged on the sides and has some fading on the cover/sides.

Size: 2″ across each
