Hi, We bought this tea set at a flea market a while back. Now we are wondering what if anything it is worth. I have taken some pictures that I will post. Thank you for any help you can give us. Connie and Bob [email protected]
I'm trying to find an estimated value for this set. I have 12 complete place settings, plates, cups, saucers, bowls and a variety of serving pieces: coffee/tea pots, 2 gravy boats, bowls and platters, cream and sugar. The items are a lovey cream color with about a quarter inch of gold trim.
It appears to be handmade and painted in areas because the rim is a bit uneven and the gold trim paint is not uniform. The item appears to have been used often as the gold paint on the handles is slightly worn. I believe it could be Japanese because the pictures (3) are of what looks like Geisha girls planning a type of Japanese guitar. Each girl is different and each guitar is different. The vase is beautiful and unusual with three handles. Someone put an awful lot of work into this vase.
