Antique Japanese porcelain tea set. This is such a sweet set in very fine porcelain.
Mint green with delicate florals and butterflies in black, green, blue and yellow with gold gilt accents. A hint of red on the butterflies. The borders are black with gilt geometric design. All pieces are marked on the bottom in gold inside a red rectangle. Set includes: Teapot with lid. Sugar bowl with 2 handles and lid- 3 3/4" tall to top of finial x 5" wide handle to handle.Creamer with handle- 3 1/8" tall to top of spout x 4" wide spout to handle. 6 Demitasse cups- 1 7/8" tall x 2" round at opening. 6 demi saucers- 3 3/4 round. I looked carefully at each piece under a lighted magnifying lamp.
A little wear to the gold but not much. No cracks or chips or repairs except for one cup which has a crack down the side, see last photo close up. Please roll over all 12 photos for close up and details as this is also part of the description. Most everything I sell is vintage. I do my best to accurately describe what I see.
