Item Details

Description

This tea set is unusual in that it has two pots, two creamers, two sugars, 10 saucers, 10 sandwich plates, one large serving plate and only 6 cups left.  The only mark on the back is "Made in Japan" in green.  The picture is of a house on a hill surrounded by evergreen trees, perhaps a poppy field in the foreground and what looks like a tornado above it, although it may have just meant to be a cloud.  I live in Oklahoma so it looks like a tornado to me.  The colors are very pale white that looks a bit blue, cobalt trim and reds, oranges and greens on the design.  There are a few chips on 2 or 3 plates and I think on 2 of the cups.  Most of it is in very good condition.   The serving plate must have been used quite a bit as it is much more faded than the other pieces.  I purchased this in 1985 from the estate sale of one of my Sunday School teachers in Texas.  She was probably in her 90s when she passed.  She was a wealthy and well traveled woman.  I have no idea how or when she purchased this tea set.  I would love to know as much about this as I can. 

Thank you
