A guide for this piece: about $571, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The Net at the Table
Kusama's nets began as vast canvases; here the same line is scaled to the hand. Yellow on black is the palette of her pumpkins, which gives the set a second echo. A numbered edition of 500 from 1998 is seldom found complete with its box.
Best for: Collectors of Kusama objects and artist tableware

A cup, saucer and plate by Yayoi Kusama in the Infinity Nets pattern, yellow on black. The set is made in 1998 in an edition of 500 and carries serial No. 114, in its black presentation box.
The Piece
A net of fine yellow lines is drawn over a black ground, wrapping the wall of the cup and the broad rims of the saucer and plate. The wells are left white, as are the cup interior and its looped handle, so the pattern frames whatever is served.
Each piece is printed on the underside with a facsimile of the artist's signature, the title Infinity Nets and the edition text. The box is black with the signature in gold on the lid and a white satin lining shaped to hold the three pieces.
