Description
I would like to know more about these tea cups I received from my great-grandmother. They appear to be bone and the gold bands around the cups and plates are intact and in excellent condition (honestly, I don't think the items have ever been used).
Re: Ming China by Otigiri Japan
Well, based on marking and the images they are not antique, I doubt they predate the 1960's. "Otagiri" is actually a trademark. The company name is Otagiri Mercantile Company, Inc. or OMC. The company was an importer and a distributor of porcelain, stoneware, and giftware in the San Francisco area for more than 46 years. The products were made in Japan and were imported for distribution and sold to high end department stores and gift shops.
