The Icelandic landscape was handpainted on
this cup in Japan in 1933 for a posh family in
Iceland who served coffee in porcelain on
Sundays. The whole handpainted collection
travelled through Corea on a mule-train, with
the Siberian express to Moscow, to northern
Europe through Nazi-Germany, onboard a
ship set for Iceland. But now you can see
this cup in Húsið museum in Eyrarbakki.
