Chinese Antique Tea set

By tiablakney, 8 June, 2011
Description

This is a unique tea set from the Qing Dynasty, have not found any others exactly like this as it has a special gold coin in the top of the teapot lid, handles have hands on them, and the vase seems to be some kind of wedding vase.  I think this set was a special gift to an emperial family of the Qing Dynasty, however, I have no verification of this.

Re: Chinese Antique Tea set

 Hello, I have a vase with an identical design to your items! Where are yours from?! Mine has a trademark symbol on it which says 'the chefoo teasets export co.' are yours similar to this?! Have you found any others like this?!

I'd like to see a image of the coin if you could on the top of the lid.
