Japanese Tea Pot Set (15 piece set)

Description

 We have a Japanese tea set that has been passed down through the family.  We are curious as to how much these pieces could be worth.  These came into the family around the 30's from Winslow Homer from Townsend MA. where supposedly he picked them up in Japan.
