A striking 18-piece Japanese “Hand Painted Japan” tea set featuring richly detailed geisha and court motifs with heavy gilt accents, cobalt panels, and raised enamel/moriage decoration. Each teacup reveals a charming geisha lithophane portrait when held to the light, with an iridescent luster glaze inside the bowl.
Set includes 5 cups (approximately 4” diameter x 2.25” high) and 5 matching saucers (approximately 5.5” diameter), 5 luncheon plates (approximately 7.5” diameter), 1 creamer (approximately 3.25” high x 4.75” across), 1 lidded sugar bowl (approximately 6.25” across x 5” high with lid), and 1 teapot (approximately 6.25” high x 9” spout-to-handle). Total pieces: 18.
Condition is overall good, clean vintage condition with a minor imperfection noted, consistent with age and gentle use. Please review all photos closely as they form part of the description and show the beautiful hand-applied gilding, textured details, and finish.
📌 Please Note: displays, styling props, and any photographed décor are not included unless specifically stated.
I pack with great care and often use reclaimed packing materials to be eco-friendly.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions before purchase.
