AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage white porcelain tea or coffee service, characterized by delicate hand-painted decorations depicting charming scenes of traditional Asian life, with figures dressed in period costumes.

The set, complete with teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl, cups, and saucers, exudes an exotic and timeless charm. The porcelain is fine, and the artistic details make each piece a small masterpiece.

It was produced in Japan. The brand 'FOREIGN' was used by Japanese manufacturers for export to the United Kingdom and possibly other European countries between the 1920s and 1930s.

The presence of the marking 'FOREIGN' in combination with the style of the decoration indicates that the object is an antique Japanese export porcelain from that period.

Ideal for collectors or for those who wish to add a touch of oriental elegance to their table.

Composition: 6 cups, 6 saucers, 1 teapot with lid, 1 sugar bowl with lid, and 1 milk jug.

The service is in excellent overall condition, except for a cup that, as clearly visible in the photos, has been repaired following a break.

Dairy measure: height 8 cm, width 10 cm, depth 5 cm.
Sugar bowl measurements: height 10 cm, width 13 cm, depth 8 cm.
Teapot measurements: height 18 cm, width 15 cm, depth 8 cm.
Standard cup and saucer measurements.
