Description

I have this chinese tea set and am wondering if they are authentic. The set is NOT porcelan on the interior, it is clay inside and out. There are no cracks or breaks in the set. I beleive the set may have been made as a wedding gift for a member of the emperial family in the Manchu Dynasty. I know the coin says it is Qing Dynasty Guan Gxu currency. I also know that some of the symbols on the vase stand for matrimony. What I do not know is how much they are worth.
