VINTAGE KUTANI JAPANESE TEA SET
Absolutely stunning Kutani Japanese Tea set, Vintage item mid 20th century ('s-'s) Set comprises of 3 large pots, 1 for tea, 1 for hot water/cream and 1 for sugar 6 side plates (1 slightly chipped) 6 saucers 5 cups (1 missing) At the bottom of each tea cup on the inside, is a lithosphere of a Geisha that can clearly be seen when held to the light. The pattern on the set depicts the Dragon chasing the ever elusive flaming pearl, from Japanese folk lore. The set has been on display for many years and could probably do with a dusting, however on such a rare and valuable item, i personally would leave that to a professional. This set would look fantastic in any of the local tea tea rooms in and around the south Manchester /Cheshire area and would certainly be a wonderful conversation piece Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
